Lovely Poem

The poem creams into my cup slowly but never really settles.

A seamless spiral of silk,

Smooth on the mind and gentle with the tongue.

This is your signature as always.

 

        gentle...

                          Tall...

    Loud...

I want ice cream now, to lick from a wooden spoon, and I want to watch a thunderstorm while I do it. You see what your work does to me?
I like the form, it works well. As always, your structure is good. Your imagery is top-of-the-line.

I thought I recognized the words. Several, several of my poems started out their lives as reviews for other poets. This is a truly lovely example of that.

Inspired by Emily Burns. You are truly a pioneer for other poets. These words are 90% of a review I wrote for Emily's poem "within". I just thought it had a place here too...
