Probably not.)<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's that the rest of the poem speaks to Tomorrow fondly and in pretty warm terms; the hopes and challenges it brings, and the inherent <I>newness</I> of it all. Those particular stanzas, however, lend your poem a little darkness (at least the way I read it), and point towards a slight bit of, well, fear is far too strong of a word, but at least a small sense of reluctance or perhaps even <I>weariness</I> that could be possible in a string of tomorrows. And tomorrows... creeping in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded blah blah.<BR/><BR/>Heh. Sorry. <BR/><BR/>Yeah. I'm not sure. I guess it just adds another layer of color to an already nice piece. Even on their own, though, I still like the images those lines conjure up in my tiny mind. YMMV.<BR/><BR/>I'm also a big fan of:<BR/><BR/>The clouds whisper your mood.<BR/>The stars wink incessantly.<BR/>But I don't believe they really know<BR/>What you hold.<BR/><BR/>Nephelomancy and astrology be <I>darned!</I><BR/><BR/>All in all, nicely evocative. <BR/><BR/>And I guess this is kind of a clumsy way to communicate, but I wrote a response to your query a while ago, under the Rapunzel's Revenge post in my own blog. I don't think you may have seen it, but... Well, it's there. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for sharing. I look forward to future work.Goshzillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345856384007330700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10628003.post-8024478324788745222009-01-26T09:49:00.000-07:002009-01-26T09:49:00.000-07:00You really liked that part, Goshzilla?
