Interpreting Poetry

 
This lucid collusion-



The thieving cat of your mind

The gulping fish of my heart



Eyeing each other 
from different sides
of a quivering waterline



Knowing without their separation

The poem will devour itself

A wonderfully brilliant write - I can never tell anyone to to "eat their words" again, without thinking of your poem "eating itself"

"The thieving cat of your mind
 The gulping fish of my heart
" 
 great ---- no fantastic imagery here and coming from both sides - even so - it makes me wonder if it is, just the poem, which will devour itself?

Very well done and among my faves

A.J.-

Again, I have to agree with the other A.J.: "Oh, my goodness, this is beyond brilliant...a definite favorite."

Here is a free gift, your anagram:

'Amanda Joy' - 'Am and a joy.'

What more can you say? She is, and she is a joy!

Thank you for sharing with us. Your style is a refreshing change from what I have seen here at the Cafe. It is simple elegance.

Love and peace,
Gabe

This is great. I like the image and the meaning.

Oh, my goodness, this is beyond brilliant...a definite favorite. I usually like to pick a favorite line or verse, but I love these all equally. This is among the very finest, smartest poems I've read in the cafe. Oh, how the mind strives to temper what the heart desires to write. You've immediately established yourself in my mind as an intellect and creative force to be reckoned with. I look forward to enjoying more of your work, Amada Joy.
