resurrection

i see the adds for the dysfunctional correction, and i wonder where all that dysfunction lies

old whirling world

spins the senses

delivering life's cornucopia

advertently including

significant anothers

therein lies the rubbing

cuz the brethren

hormonally enhanced

grow antlers in their aura

and hope the lady

of the longhouse

will be delighted

at that thing

"(A)dvertently including" made me sit up and take notice (half-pun intentional). It's a curious notion how our heads crave a certain monogamous constancy while areas due south of there would have it somewhat differently, and I am left to ponder if an epiphany or resurrection lasting longer than, say, four hours is a reason to seek medical attention.

[Ed Hart]

i wish you lived down the street

[SkinlessFrank]

Ole Charlie Bob Darwin would have said that the antlers are not necessarily for the battle, but for impressing the ladies....but you probably already knew that.

[Ed Hart]

some of the things i remember, i can't forget

[Ken Simm.]

Now you have got me thinking. And we all know how difficult that might be. Thinking of certain areas and shall we say allowances for those areas. I've come to the conclusion that the lady of the longhouse would be delighted its not just the rut that gets the sitting up and taking notice anymore. Especially if there are mosses hanging from those antlers.

[Ed Hart]

ladies in long houses are not often ladies in waiting

It's always hunting season...somewhere
There is such a growing-need to exceed bag- limit
before the license/or parts expire

Favorite line..significant anothers.....lol... Ha !

Jazz..

[Ed Hart]

hi Jazz, you sure got this one, and most cleverly...thank you

[J. J. Nightingale]

Ha ! ......................................... I am still laughing......................:)

[A.A.Romanczuk]

It's almost dizzying...what with the mighty antlers and all
Fine feathers make fine birds, eh?

[Ed Hart]

we likes to keep the folks entertained, AA, fine feathers and all...

[CD Campbell]

Witty. I would like to top Kens review, but that doesn't seem possible. I will say at first glance I thought this was a poem about vikings. CD

[Ed Hart]

i don't think the vikings had necessity for the little blue pills, all the raping and rampaging, you know...thanks

[Donald Meikle]

sixty years ago when I was seventeen and too busily wooing my other half to get into any more trouble The lady of the long house was not even close to a memory

[W.k.kortas]

I heartily applaud this review whilst sitting across the ether.

[Ed Hart]

good, that saves me the time

[Donald Meikle]

This smile is broadening into a grin as memories tease

[Ed Hart]

broadening smile...thank you Donald

-- not sure if i'm reading this right, Maestro Ed... but this seems like quite a spin on the world of senses and sensations... pleasure and pleasing... and living and reliving the best that life has to offer...

[Ed Hart]

in a sense serah, what you say is true...for many men 'reliving the best that life has to offer' is summed up in the size of their antlers, or something like that

[. serah .]

-- i've been reading all the reviews, Maestro Ed... and i still haven't understood this poem... gonna have to work on my english... lol... :p

[Ed Hart]

you'd have to see the adds that almost permeate american television selling little blue pills (viagra, and the like) to men who are having a little trouble getting it up (or keeping it up) with the warning it the 'up' lasts for more than four hours perhaps a doctor should be consulted...my take is that the Mrs, calmer now these many years, may really not be very interested just because the Mr can get it up...but what do i know, being happily out of the game myself...

[. serah .]

-- ah, i see... so kind of you to help me understand, Maestro Ed... -- your poem is an astute comment on the times... it's witty and scintillating social commentary...

Part of life's 'cornucopia' is, of course, language, for a writer at least, and I think this more than anything else is being acknowledged in the playful obscurantism of the poem. In the nexus or collision between the physical (antlers) and the spiritual (aura) words and phrases are resurrected, subverted, or given new life. My favourite is 'significant another', a phrase to chide the monogamously committed and that modern institution, which seems to be forever blowing up, the nuclear family.

[Ed Hart]

i happily acknowledge your wide-angle vision and appreciation for the uses of language and the sharp edges of life...thank you

[John]

You're welcome, priapically insouciant troubadour...keep it up.
