A. Baez Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Quote For Hedge Bindweed Back aches I wonder Keep it open The minute I finish Turn around It’s back again Ha ha, I so relate to this! And I like the two "backs" here back to back--it definitely conveys of something creeping up behind one's back. Interesting--to think of the juxtaposition between nature's unruly, order-devouring twists vs. man's orderly, disciplining ones. That's something that, as a gardener, I'd never thought of!

David W. Parsley Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hi doc, I like the use of line breaks and indents to promote the "twistiness" of the poem. The short lines also imply an apparent simplicity that is appealing. Cool! - David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hi DC, The ivy parasite that climbs and kills trees, tangling in all sorts of pattern, if removed leaves its footprint. This is the first thought that came to mind when I read this. It doesn’t hang or drape, it clings and yes it twists and winds and binds. Just trying to sort these images sounds painful. Interesting piece that I will come back to. ~~Judi Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
