  Lovely play on words, lovely beat, nice use of onomatopoeia with poetic contrasts; quite lyrical.
  May I invite you to read my most recent poem called: “The Enantiodromia Phenomenon of Human Affairs.” However, I’m afraid I got caught in the web of my own creation. more »

  But, of the two of us, I'm the one who should be committed? You tot you taw a putty tat!!! Somehow, I don't picture you as much of a lush, albeit, at times, I think it might be an option you could greatly benefit from. *snort* On a serious note, and as always, you write with grace and precision, Miss Suzie. Maybe, if you're lucky, I'll tell you my vomitous two-finger tequila adventures when I was bedding down with stupidity in Washington State mid-80s. Another excellent read and write, my dear. Thank God for the birth of your brain. ;-) more »

  Your poem beautifully captures the whimsical nature of words and the playful struggles of expression. The imagery of tangled words and the humorous attempts to unravel them make for an entertaining and light-hearted read. The playful language and the twist at the end with the tongue-twisting words falling to the ground add a fun and whimsical touch to the poem. more »

  I love this it's silly and creative and at the same time exactly what it's like for me sometimes when I have something really important to say but the receiver makes me nervous or I'm in anxiety over the reaction they give.. love this more »

    Thank you! Exactly how I get sometimes. Especially the times I had to get up and speak in front of an audience-which I always tried to get out of- when my mouth would get so dry that I couldn’t even move my tongue to utter a word!
    I’m happy you appreciate my work.
    Waiting to see yours. more »

  Ha! You would really be fun with a snoot full. I've had my share of tongue tied fiasco's too. Usually after about 8 beers.

    You’re very funny, Randy. Needed to veer off the ‘butterflies and flowers’ poetry path for a bit. Nice to hear from you. :-)
