All Comments on 'only'

to feel sad for the moon, until now...but she isnt alone, I talk to her a lot

the layout is what I like best about this poem, how you have given each subject its own "section" ( still confused with the strophe/stanza debate)

and then tied it all together at the end..glad to have gotten up early and found this poem :)

images here.

and being a fan of crows myself i loved that verse.

really well thought out

thank you

....throughout this poem. I particularly like -

"only lovers

drowning

in each other

sinking through parted flesh

will pause to marvel silently

as Luna kisses her reflection

and sinks into the sea "

A five from me.

Only a northern prairie boy could get that right! Where are you from again? Those who live on the coast claim the moon as theirs, those in the tropics do the same, but only a soul of the central plains can appreciate the loneliness of a baying crowd or a cacophonous murder. Thanks d'maas.

Classic images of solitutde. You use them well.

I particularly like the coyote passage,

only I didn't know that moon howls were done while running.

"only coyote

loping ?cross his prairie sea

howls at the moon

in conversation"

your poem envelope me as I read it

Wonderful images all drawn together with the moon. I like the echo of the beginning lines. Well done.
