I'm thinking about a cd collaboration, it's worth investigating. - Deborah
----Thanks, Doug and Deborah.
Relating to what I just mentioned in a post to Arni, I used the piece in a
reading last night, and I 'semi-sang' the final phrase/sentence: 'Nothing
more to be said'. I'm mentioning that because I'm getting intrigued by the
relationship between the poetic and the sung, it seems there's a kind of
half-way house which poetry can inhabit.

Nice one, Dave. I like the short line, of course.

It reminds me, sort of, of a poem I included on a question about 'love
poetry' for my first year students in a poetry reading course, by a
Canadian poet, who has not published for years, alas:
I have been thinking a great deal
about my bike that will be stolen.
I don't like things whose inevitability
works against me.
Why have you driven through my heart?
Make that what.

As you might guess, I really like this one...

would be to let the killers kill
