I...Thanks, HKatz! & thanks as always Barbie :)<br /><br />I love the part about the soul; I think my favorite line, which I find extremely witty is "my glass is only half there."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-67546896505492782472012-06-08T19:27:59.209-07:002012-06-08T19:27:59.209-07:00thank you hkatz, i always enjoy the way you percei...thank you hkatz, i always enjoy the way you perceive things. : ) i also love the "curiosity died as a kitten" line myself. i think your take on the male soul is a good one. i've never really tried to put into words why i choose different genders for different pieces or roles. sometimes it's one of those secret writer things where i'm actually referring to someone in particular & sometimes it just feels right. thanks again. : )barbie angellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708541834042912457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-983426939596471472012-06-08T05:28:41.312-07:002012-06-08T05:28:41.312-07:00I enjoyed the alternating rhythms of this one. A ...I enjoyed the alternating rhythms of this one. A clever line that stood out for me was "Curiosity died as a kitten" and I loved the power of "My cynical side/has tortured my pride/my anger's wherever you are." Using "he" to refer to the soul in the last stanza surprised me, but then why couldn't it be a "he" even if the speaker I take it is female? It's an interesting idea, different parts of you made up of different genders, which reinforces the idea that they can all separate from each other and go on strike or hide out in the medicine cabinet, because there isn't one unified homogeneous whole.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.com
