This was fascinating to read, given the unexpected form and subject. I like! I LOVE the image of the cigarette in the strawberry milkshake. I can see it - may have done it at one time long, long ago. Great stuff. I intend to get over to the Sunday poetry gig and at least nose around tomorrow.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003379181294550035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-69089356779437519372009-05-30T14:40:04.209-07:002009-05-30T14:40:04.209-07:00Hi Kat:

This was a bit of a wild ride - except we was drivin' real slow.<br /><br />These are some of your best, these sonnets.<br /><br />Kat<br /><br />P.S. I forgot all about the Sunday poetry gig.

I guess what interested me about the "sonnet form" for these poems was the whole idea of the turn.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-51646510534222800732009-05-30T06:26:50.903-07:002009-05-30T06:26:50.903-07:00No comfort for me: I'm not a great strawberry-love...No comfort for me: I'm not a great strawberry-lover. Enjoyed the poem, though, some really great images.

I enjoyed reading the poem, but I'm glad I wasn't there.<br /><br />I'll be gone all day, too - Thanks for the OPS plug.
