...always elicit a palovian response. I come running to read when I see your name.

I enjoy running the maze and your poetry is the piece of cheese, hidden in the middle. This is a playful, rhythmic poem, begging for a voice to read it aloud.

Thanks.

to edit out a glaring mistake: obviously, it was wallace stevens and not richard wilbur (duh) but was unable to do so...and thanks, carrie, i needed that...steve.

and very effective use of repetition and symmetry in writing!

if i can't help but laugh at this stanza:

i mean why can’t WE be

the specimens for a change,

creatures zooed for observation,

curiosity, and cheap entertainment.

overall a very cool write. i remember the days when one could change things before a poem was approved, now one can't.

Now here's a thought to give you pause

We're all specimens in a planetary zoo

All for someone else's entertainment.
