waxwings Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Swap lines 3 and 4. I had to read poem four (4) times to finally enjoy the thought. Quote
Lake Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Swap lines 3 and 4. I had to read poem four (4) times to finally enjoy the thought. Where is line 4? Do you mean switching lines 2 and 3? If so, that makes sense. I find it piercing, probably because of the word "ditch". All the best. Lake Quote
Aleksandra Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 when I die,so I'll taste the rain, lay me face up in a ditch. John, this is short, compact, beautiful. Good title and powerful lines. I love this one. Aleksandra Quote The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth - Jean Cocteau History of Macedonia
badger11 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 'ditch' is the power word, the one that resonates, so for me the placement is perfect this poem is so MP badge Quote
