Hot Jee!

In Poetry on Sunday, October 22, 2006 at 6:02 pm

For some reason, I tend to fall for the stuff Jee posts in the C&Cs, like this poem.

Makes me want to ask the question: why do accomplished writers choose to post where they post? Why would Jee post this poem, which feels fresh, and right, and nearly done to me, in a forum that’s designed for poems that still need work?

Anyway. Here’s to “The Wooden Doors“, which feels anything but wooden, and here’s my favourite part:

……………………………………………………the flesh
tastes so much like mercy on the tongue,
round, hard and bland until saliva salts
and softens it, the wafer always tastes of us.

Santé.

Three Themes

This one’s called White as Milk, and is nice and clean.

This one’s called PressRow, and is a bit bolder. I like the image-at-the-top option.

This one blends the cleanness of the first and the image of the second and is really tempting me. It’s Cutline.

If anybody’s out there, I’d appreciate feedback!

Oh, and, it just got easier to upload pix to this blog. So that’s one obstacle removed, anyway.
