Uncle Beige

Thank you so much John! I wrote this poem while sitting outside The Palms, a dusty nowhere bar in Wonder Valley, CA, straight out of a Lynch movie. I've been writing poems for several years but have not really shared them yet. I'm so excited to have a forum here where I can do that. I'm a little nervous about posting feedback to others' work only because I feel unqualified to do so, but I will give it a shot and hopefully offer support, if nothing else.

I really liked your poem, and the thoughts it contains.

Loved the colour and texture of the first 2 lines, the dog with whisky eyes, the homesteader cabins and much more.

I like the way you left "leg" our after "hind."

Thanks for the read. JG
