i keep reading re.wolf as werewolf
hmmm

and i see the yellow flower as a dandelion
because it seems to me that dandelions grow all over the place
btu the only thing that makes it a weed
instead of a flower is that
it is avaiable almost everyhwere
and it grows so frequently and in such large quantities
but then i wonder why i keep seeing this dandelion
but whatever

i also see 2 people
who are potentially entering a relationship
but there is a hesitation
on one persons part-
like maybe there is a reason the realtionship shouldnt happen (plucked from it's home/???)
another little flower- i picked it up just to smell it... as though the realtionship part was unexpected but picking it up to smell it
led to so much more
and now the dandelion (or the other in the relationship) is seeing themselves as this dangerous thing---(haha werewolf) that everyone else is oblivious too--- like noone else sees the danger...
except the one who picked it (and i think the danger is peterc and past and the inability of the flower to accept that they are worth something
and that the flower deserves happiness

and is it weird that in some ways this could be the reportes poem? cuas eshe sees it.... she sees the danger... maybe??
but then there's peter c
and i see him in this
as the person who holds those memories and fears right where they are
to keep making you feel (repressed distressed)
and i wonder too if
he
also makes you feel at fault
for things...
yellow things.

like he is telling you that you were at fault then- the seductress
and you are at fault now
cuas eyou're a werewolf or a dangerous flower
that someone picked to smell
and had no idea
how dangerous it would be for them

and of course the picture reinforces all of this for me
cuase i dont see the poem as an ending
but a beginning
cuase i think the flower is ready to fight back or something
cause of the article
the female force-
and oaknuts being featured again///
maybe....

but then again
i'm exahusted
i've had two beers
a z
and
i can barely read the screen
and mentally i'm just so fucked
and i think this is one of those things that everything
i read will relate
to what's in my head right now
and the uncertainty
of what words mean

so maybe you should just delete this
after you read it and laugh at me....

peter and the wolf [re.wolf]

maybe peter just aint none of my business

am i meant to know and use the knowledge to understand?

[Raef C. Boylan]

"c of peter" = church of?
I like the flower talking in italics at the end (i think?), to give an alternative perspective of a seemingly
cute/innocent act like picking flowers - do you see little girl in a summer dress? i bet you do...
Seems to me that this poem is about POV...
s**t all depends on the angle you're watching from [whether you enjoy the show]

"a.not.her
lite.tell" - to me, read as bored and accusatory [of lies]

I took this poem to be a cynical overview of the culture we live in where seems just about everyone's innocent was snatched no one just gives it up any more so there's an excuse to be a dick for all
i'm not talking about people who genuinely have been abused
wtf am i talking about then?
good question

i'm glad "re.wolf" didn't spell werewolf for me
ah's scairt ah haints miz scarlett
'specially them kind


If i leave this theory
for a minute
and go read again..........

"if wanting
was ever a
part
of us [to.be]
sparingly sharing
the key to the
inner
we.blazin
roots
to bite more
win more
see more
keep more
complete" .......this becomes more important

and maybe cherry centers be right

to love someone is to change them
i'm paraphrasing Larkin there
but it's been on my mind a lot
they will be different if you're in their lives
why do you want them different
if you really 'love' them?
fucked up stuff

to pick a flower
is to pay tribute to its beauty
and destroy it

and if a bee pops out
and stings your sniffing nose
you fling it away

don't like it any more

maaaaaan i thought i'd never review again
cos this fecking new-look site was hating me
maybe i shouldn't - look at the crazy

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

I am against rape and smelly things of the color yellow...
Mind blowing poem ..

hmmm
really??

interesting

[eli mercuree rue]

not laughing
cause you are dead on
i dont know whose
poem it is
but i was there

and its def. not peterc's

[lostintheworld]

damn i just sometimes cant see clearly
cause i'm all ghey and s**t now
and i cant stop thinking of askjdf;asljfd;salkjfd;alskjdg;alsgdlsa

but i also meant to add that
i see the girl/victim
as the yellow flower

who is talking back to the giant hand
that she knew was dangerous

and the voice that says a littel flower
is the perpetrator

and thsi convestaion bothers me
and i was hesitant to see it
cuase i think that when i read this i
see the flower as accepting responsibility for some of the crime
and i then attirbute that to Peterc
dont know why really
but i do
