The Dick Widow

Poet Guy was puzzled about the title, but saw your explanation elsewhere. At one point he was wondering if the poem was about Philip K. Dick's widow flirting with someone.

Now that is the subject for a poem. Perhaps for twelveoone.

Anyway, good poem.

several times and each time got a different "feel" I just now saw your explanation on the review thread and that made the poem even more interesting. I agree with Angeline about the mystery of whose hand. That's great! I also want to say that you have bloomed like a most lovely flower since you have been here, It is so wonderful to watch a poet grow. I feel privileged to have been here so long that I have seen such growth in so many people. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your poems more with each new post.

not knowing whose hand it is on her chest is brilliant. :-)

because it's brief yet packs a lot of vivid association for me as a reader. But, it's just the way you often do free verse, I've noticed. I have to echo Liar's comment on the title, too. I think you have a rare talent for choosing titles that are as much poetry as the actual poem. And your titles always seem to help me understand the poem, put it in some context. That's really good.

Wonderful title that made me smile is she flirting because she's been without it too long?! I agree it would read better as 'she giggles'
