A very clever idea once my poems are out there they can go and make their own living there's no coming home again
and the pencil dust blows away.
(That also can happen to ones I start, but don't come back to).
Do like the children simile.
One thing came to mind while reading your poem is Ciardi's 'A poem should not mean, but be', something I try to keep in mind.
and I would venture to say that any serious poet has done his or her share of the killing. Again, you have posted a poem that I truly enjoyed. Loved the point of view. My favorite way of "disposal" is drowning, as I love water and adore a river.
I especially enjoyed the way you compare your new poems as spoiled brats, that is totally cute and so easy to relate to. I have brats, but they are hidden away under different alts ;)
please keep writing because this fan looks forward to each new posting of your work.
