All Comments on 'Romeo and Juliet: Redux.'

I really like the tsunami metaphor.

are you talking about whales? I didn't love the first half of the poem, but adored: "And try not to mourn the moment they were epic." I'm hard to please anyway, so good work. In my head I kinda wished you'd mixed lines from your "Darker Yet" with this poem, I'm not sure why.

Not sure that I understand all the references even though I know the play well enough, eg how did they return to their ordinary lives? Nevertheless I liked it v much.

I thought of Dante's Inferno and the lovers pummeled forever in the hurricane at first: sortof a "blessed are the lustful damned" revision!; the final line is an impressive twist, tho frankly I'd rather be back up caught in the tsunami! (or maybe this is an ironic 'revision' --the 'in reality you'd be let down by each other' track) Nonetheless, impressively sensuous and provocative poem!
