Yes Or No ,,, All I Want For Christmas Is a Question Mark

Agreement feels like a back tickle smells like magnolia sounds like soft crickets and rushing water looks like the bright moon tastes like milk Disagreement feels like a toe stub smells like rotted vegs sounds like fingernails running down blackboards looks like the pic took of you at fourteen tastes like medicine Not so much difference, eh?

i really like this poem even without the last line (although i guess that line is the whole point). wonderful comparisons!

Very awesome and intriguing verse. By the way, I came across a word "Datura" somewhere in one of your poem, What is that word? Is it non-English word? Nancy. In India we have wild plants name Datura

Is the same, I think. All part of what we categorize here in the west as nightshades.

Okay, you DO hurt my brain. I love to DIG into your poems. See what ISN'T obvious. The last line sent me back into a loop. a back tickle that is too long can feel like anguish, even magnolia can rot, crickets and water when you're trying to sleep is like nails on a blackboard, the moon can feel too bright to people in pain, milk can sour and taste awful... was I on the right track or was the last line a braid pull? ;-) Keep 'em coming. You write cross word puzzle poetry :-)
