I thought this was fantastic.
Loved the trailing rhyme between the stanzas and I liked the use of gloaming, reminded me of La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Keats.
Well worth a favourite and a watch

I really like this line...
our nights: strings that rip and tug
a common cusp of stars in sync
I also liked the ending.
I'm not sure about the word gloaming, actually. it threw me off a little.
Anyway, I like the ethereal feel to the poem. Nice!

Ethereal is a good word; I think it is what I was going for. And yes, that "gloaming" word sure does stop a few people for a moment. Thanks!

This is rich, it's impossible to believe there is something missing, though at the same time one has the oddest feeling that something is off.
I don't really like the word "twilight"; to me "twilit" sounds softer and is an adjective, but hey this is an amazing piece, and I haven't got much of true significance to say except
Thanks for writing,
J.

I get an odd feeling when reading this, too, and I've yet to know what to attribute it to. Thank you for reading.

Ha! Nicely done. I love the offbeat rhyme and the rhythm in general. In poetry I find there a lot of too-flowery tiptoeing around sex, and a lot of smearing it around like it's the dirtiest thing in town; this poem rests gracefully between.
It's always a pleasure to see just how much meaning and art can be squeezed out of a lipogram. Eunoia +fav.

Thank you kindly, sir. Sex is my favorite subject, but I rarely do it justice.

Hello, Bill... Are you ever going to do anything about that pesky "the" in line two? No e's, right?

Yeah... I read through almost all of the comments to see if anyone has mentioned it! I guess I'll have to save all these cookies for myself!

This poem is great! I think the way that your words flow into one another really enhances the mood. And the rhythm is really cool to think about, I think that maybe there are many ways to verbalize this poem and thinking about that is rather exciting. Thanks for the great lit!

Gorgeous work! Congrats on the DD. This is a beautiful piece that surely shows us how a lipogram should be composed...

now i'm a huge fan of reading sex into almost anything, but oddly enough i didn't read any sex in this poem. i see relationships, connections, but not sex, per se.

Look more closely, perhaps in the second and third stanzas.

peut-etre, i guess i generally don't associate hip contact with sex.

GeneratingHype In reply to batousaijin [2008-02-16 00:17:39 +0000 UTC]
Not much ripping and tugging going on down there, either? Kidding, kidding. Hip contact often equates to sex for me, but I suppose I am a bit of a pervert.

batousaijin In reply to GeneratingHype [2008-02-16 00:22:43 +0000 UTC]
Thighs? yes. Pelvis? Butt? absolutely. Genitals? obviously. Hips? makes me think of the Bump or the Hustle or some other disco dance craze.

It be things like this that make me glad I never bothered to try poetry.
I don't think my ego could handle it.
Wonderful stuff.
