All Comments on 'Old Poets Hide Behind Glasses'

very nicely done. Some of it, some I don't understand, not sure about the eyelids part, but the late afternoon made into a zebra bowl, that is fantastic, one of those things I wished I would have thought of. If I wasn't so slavish, etc.

Five and a recommend. The imagery in this is very cool.

of smithpeter. I ask, what does a canoe have to do with this poem?

I enjoyed the "newness" of it as opposed to the crap that has been appearing here lately. keep writing!

it speaks to me of being firm and streamlined - slipping into the channel, gliding through the waters of life, the quiet deepwaters, the rush and tumble of the white, the yearning ache of heading out over the falls...

the originality of the bats/skin-tags/zebra-bowled afternoon make this a refreshingly novel write. that zebra-bowl thing really has me thinking... not sure of your intent, but what i see is a strangely-shaped view through the fringing of eyelashes, and the connotations of life in the wild :)
