All Comments on 'Fire in Eyes'

of homage to Fire and Ice and that really distressing story in the news. I would love to understand how you choose rhyme and near rhyme and why you choose to go off the beat where you do. And you used "fun bags" in a way that didn't make me want to run shrieking from your poem! Also the poem is really cohesive in that you sustain both the narrative and the Frost-ness to the end. Just a great read, so thank you.

Angie,

The rhyme, if not the near rhyme, I thought would be consistent with the Frost poem. The non-rhyme in the 2nd stanza, I'm afraid, was a hasty mistake. It should have been "rescued me."

I doubt you took the latter for inspiration, but it reminded me of her style, fluid comedy something Frost was sorely lacking. nice work, as always.

Also, I don't know what story you're referring to? The only Cy's I can think of our from Deadwood, Major League Baseball and a google search pulls up a stabbing from Wichita.

Frost ever say splat? Excellent. Here's a really good Bad Guy!

Amusing and well done.
