I bounced 'tween Oz and T.S.Eliot...

...and really didn't mind. The interplay with the crow was intriguing, enough so that one set of lines seemed unneeded to me. That was the lonely-angry-humble man part.

They're worthy of saving for another time, however.

Damn!

I love this! The message drew me in, but the rhythm and repetition hypnotyzed me. Wow!

There has gotta be a story here!

This poem smacks of summer-baked gas station stoops and migrant worker campfire circles. I can see the black sparkle in her eye as the storyteller's voice creaks in rhythm with her chair. Absolutely beautiful, NJ!

slave chant,

voodoo story, some dark tale passed down through the ages..
It has that fairy tale feel to it but in a dark way.
Like the original Oz books...
It's a wonderful piece
And can I say...it has a southern feel to it...
Thank you

ah, love the poem but the title...

had me thinking something else. I saw Dorothy screaming "Oh, straw man down! You really do need a brain, you klutz."
