The Apologetic Shrew

Submitted by E on Tue, 01/21/2014 - 14:49

I. Shrew
how much depends
on an apologetic
shrew
how much can you
say
how much can you
do

II. It's Complicated
airily, you said that
I had told you a lie
I have done no such thing
I said
you just rolled your eyes

III. Raindrops
raindrops are falling
on my head
they drip down
my hairline and
into my mouth and i
drink them up like
my favorite juice and i
smile because i
just tasted nature
as it was intended
maybe now i will be
more whole

...number three! That's just how I feel, about drinking nature and the juice and the wholeness! You encapsulated a feeling really well. :)

"Tots MaGoats Cra Cra Adores!" I say, like the commercial :P Seriously adore these! The rhythm of all three, and the wording... FAB! I really don't have a favorite, I love all three!

Thanks, everybody!

Echoing Sarah Bethany... I LOVED the third one! It was perfect. :)

I really liked It's Complicated. That was probably my favorite. I practically broke the mouse (okay, I lied--it's a touchpad but it sounded good) clicking on these when I saw you had FINALLY POSTED AGAIN HORRAY!

Hey! I friend requested you on FB, so wanted to let you know so it's not like a creepy person friend requested you.

So I've been literally the worst at commenting lately, but here I am! I actually liked the first one the best, the rhythm and wording fit together so perfectly, and I could just feel it come together, like, feel the words drop off my tongue. The others were lovely as well. And I'm so glad you posted!!

I liked all three! Raindrops painted good imagery, so that was nice.
But I actually enjoyed It's Complicated, it's got lovely rhythm and the last line is perfect. Shrew is good too.
