Jaymee Thomas Date: 6/23/2025 1:57:00 PM I just love this. I used to say I didn't like shape poetry but after reading yours and David K.'s, I may have to retire that phrase--and try one myself :) I especially like that the swoop with the extended tail looks also a bit like a scythe, making it read slightly ominous / ironic if you squint. Great work. Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/24/2025 10:57:00 AM it's cool that you saw more in it than I did. You are awesome, Jaymee. Jaymee Thomas Date: 6/24/2025 4:34:00 AM LOL - No, I got that it was intended to be a swing, but I read and reread - especially smaller poems to understand the mechanics, and in doing so, it started to read differently, a little haunting when I realized the shapes were so similar. I loved it and definitely thought the multiple, implied tones were intentional :) Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/23/2025 2:09:00 PM Oh my, you didn't realize it was a swing? hahaha. Oh well, I am still glad you liked it!!

Howard Kerr Date: 6/23/2025 12:20:00 PM Andrea, Exquisite imagery, beguiling shape and inspired narrative. Best of luck Howard Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/23/2025 2:09:00 PM thanks, Howard
