About Me

Aha! Another taker for the essence vessels option.
Reminded me of the world I discovered reading Yeats' Fairy and Folk Tales of Ireland.
Lovely take on the theme, and the final stanza is an absolute beauty.
I like the 'chrome-finned' very much as well.
i wish i'd had time to get into the other one but what can you do?
I agree, there's a potent sense of myth or folk tale here, with the old country sailor and the mermaid that animates from his tattoo. Some startling imagery too - 'a blue scrabble of worship', 'the bright red land of her tongue' - and a crushing sense of desolation and solitude. Very effective indeed.
mutual deserts, mistranslated
Good observation of life in general!
i adore this one - her description is magnificent!
Panoramic, magnificent, epic!
lots of nice lines and imagery, I like the shattered geography and the mutual deserts, mistranslated.
