I missed the photo on the lft -- as I rerad it I thought this reminded me of e e cummings -- and then Adam's note filled the gap. I really like this.

Excellent, masterful blend of two distinctive poets.

Fascinating poetic mashup. Kudos!

Beachanny said...

It's hard to do that eecummings stuff I think. Yours far more successful than mine. I think you captured the Bukowski spirit too. It has withitall a Damon-Runyan effect..."got a horse right here, etc.." Cool to get that much in few words. Extremely poetic. Thank you. Gay (@beachanny)

Comes out effotless - Did the words pour out in a great big rush or did you have to labour throught it?

It's too lovely - for words.

This is your realm -- where you excel, there is no other in our poetry united groups that can do this as well as penned here.

Ingenious --
