Idinraha unshackled...

Been so busy reading them.. Cannot choose just yet..

You want me to help you pick a poem? Me who is poetry-impaired. OK I will try, most of the time I struggled with understanding poetry.

Empty threats! You can not stop writing. You are too addicted to write rants and let us know more about you and your thoughts. Sorry! Know you too well!!

Yes I do, so if you be a dear, My Shrink Lady, and kind enough to suggest two or three that you liked, we will get this how on the road.

I already have posted which ones I like. So read my damn comments you lazy bum! Or pick YOUR favorite 10 and then I pick among them. :)~

OK they are not free? FINE! How much you charge? I buy them, but sign all the rights to me!
How is that for a business, man?

Hmmm... decisions, decisions...

The Viagra threat is kind of immaterial, but as for the possibility of a thousand bees nesting in my armpits... that is a pretty tickling thought - and I've already experienced the rest of your curses, thank you. So let me sleep on this...

Say, does this mean no more BOOK also?

I picked several that I could understand...as mentioned am not very good at understanding poetry. I will also try to explain why I picked them.

1. Walking in Saigon - very simple which is what makes it so sad and distressing - it does a good job of setting the grief striken place, the power imbalance, the need to put closure on the past and the guilt and sadness associated with past behaviors.

2. Audery Hepburn and Albert Finney - I think fav. because it does a great job and capturing the couple, the evinronment and the dynamics between them. It is a fun and passionate poem remininscent of the 1950s - carefree, fun and with strong self-assured characters.

3. Sleeping wih Amin and Kiaria - one of the greatest pleasures in life is to be able to have the chance to sleep with your kids (not in the Michael Jackson sense for clarification). It is the closeness and bonding that you have with a child when they are young. I remember as a child sleeping with my mother - it was the best part of my childhood and something I looked forward to when I was six or seven.

4. Love Letter to Marjan, travelling - captures the loneliness of the spouse that is left alone while the other spouse travels. The emptiness and the memories and the waiting.

5. Dance - liked it; quite a powerful and passionate - kind of us the shrewlike woman with the powerful and determined partner. As a kind of amusing look to it and hints at the opening of a tango. I am sorry but I did not get the last three lines.

6. Curves Novices - a very honest look at the excitment and curiousity of a novel sexual experience. Captures the anxiety provoking moment with the eagar desire to explore.

OK, I looked and these are the few I picked and why they would work. I hope this helps.

I hope I am spared the curses especially the thousand bees in my armpits.

Have a great day.

yeah, cyrus has a point. Your threat is kinda tempting! hehe

As much as I like honey, here are my picks (not in any specific order):

Sorrows of Serpents
Lonely jest
Table manners
Your flesh, My bones
The Goul, and the Mermaid
Monday In Blue
