Les Montres Molles, 1968. (His Last Painting.)

We met at the edge of time. His talents curled

off his lips melting drops of water, shadowing

reflections of his dead brother. Wild-eyed,

he explained his theories of pocket watches

and expanding landscapes, as if I understood

their luxuries.

He was 84 as I watched his last breath

twister up into the sky, drawing shattered

pieces of him and his father's relationship.

Unforgiving, he decayed, a fly ate away time

that his father never cared for. A lonely moth he sat

edging away from his art.

BLEh... brain fart

Queenie,

I like the way you describe a lady with spaghetti and food terminology it's just crazy. I think the format of this poem is intesting but I'm not sure what the shortening of the lines mean. Each line gets smaller and smaller. Is this trying to create some type of relationship? Like the way a man thinks of a lady... for her looks and other than that she isn't much, so shortening the lines is taking away from her? If it is I think you should create that relationship in this poem. Have a males character belittle this lady and make her just an object. I think that would be a really cool contrast for the poem but its just an idea. I really do like the way this female character is created. I want more to read lol

Samaria,
This is a really neat piece. I like the way you create this tease between a vegan and a carinivora. You have a clever play on words which is fun to read. I don't know how I feel about "I let it warm up use my tongue to
ice shave it off. " It reads too fast for me and the words don't make sense like that. Maybe there needs to be a puncuation break or a re-write of the sentence? Perhaps "I let it warm up, use my tounge, and ice shave it off." I think it slows the reading and makes it sound more intresting and someone more of a carvinoristic tease towards the vegan. But really I love the way you used such rich words and descriptions in this piece. It was very fun.
