Disjointed broken interjected piecemeal avalanche of words on tourists’ tongues more felt than heard threads of meaning scrambled knotted twisted out of line bombarding senses intertwined with attempts at sharing sense while sitting at sidewalk cafés sipping coffee by the Rhine James Gagiikwe © 2008 |

Ohhh.... NIce, Honest
You truly capture the sensation of how people speak much to much, and far to much on the spur of the moment. You have mastered the ipifany of words in there true sense. I LOVE THIS POEM!!! And forever, and ever, and ever, I will cherish the line "More Felt Than Heard"
THank You

Thank you Jenny, and welcome to SP.
Poems can be given away; but only the reader can accept the gift.
Actually, both you and Lad have brought out a sense of the poem that I myself didn't see.
Thank you very much.

This is a fine treat, J.G., loaded with the skill of a poet who can capture, in a mere 61 words, the babbled world of mouthy tourists in a sidewalk cafe. Really nice work for me to take in, concentrated with impacted nouns and verbs. It brings back my strolling around the Greek islands, sitting over ouzo (many, many ouzos) and imbibing all the "avalance of words...threads of meaning scrambled knotted twisted out of line..." This piece is like an impressionist painting, full of energy and dashed color.

Hi Lad,
Been thinking about your comment on Sync, about impressionism. I don't particularly like Impressionism. But I find Picasso and Dada interesting. So my poem 'Poetry?' is sort of a companion piece to the style of Sync.
Bye
