I don't see....

I don't see any problems such as you describe. I like this one very much, and I give it an awesome. Clip my wings, is a good title. Language is really good, The rhythm wasn't broken by the one little mistake that might have given it a hiccup. [with out] instead of [without]. The theme is in keeping with the ones that seem popular at the moment. The beginning and end of the poem, connected the whole of the work the way it should have. I am pleased that you have been able, in spite of your misgivings that you have produced a really great work. stars for the lady [gargoyle?]. I never heard of a werewolf with wings. [Lycan] Keep it up, xx Gee.

Thanks Gee, I know that

Thanks Gee, I know that Lycan can refer to werewolves, in popular terms, but I felt it more as a shapeshifter sense and an inner "struggle" sort of way. But after reread, no one will guess what I really was thinking of, which is great. Usualy I can't stop myself from telling, but not this time. Thanks for the read and comment Gee, Julie D.D.

Oh I danced in this one

tripping through the night's dramas and unknown superstitions, through the casements on this poem, I loved its rhythm and its odd things just gave it the strangeness of the adventure in the wolf-ridden world of childrens and adults myth-like stories. Yes this is good, you are good Julie keep dancing your pen like Charlie Caplins 'shoes' for the little boy. Love Ann o Norway

Hi Julie

This was captivating. Very creative. 'famine of thought plague of will' Actually very deep. 'Page the demon calling the devil caught between each tiny level' Wish I knew where this came from. I would like to go there. 'Sacrifice sanity for soup' Juicy. Yours, Deelilah

teeters on the edge of angst

"famine of thought plague of will gamble together and beg to feel" I loved these lines in particular in this poem that teeters on the edge of angst and begs resolution. Nicely done and rich with emotional impact. "well spoken" I might add. *wink* I found it only a wee bit heavy on the gerunds, but not bad. Many will relate to these ideas and thoughts. Good work here. ~Pamela
