Sparkie

[Delta40]

I stood half dressed under
the waning crescent,
exposed to flashes of his
brilliant light.
I can fix your problem
So I let his deft hands do their work,
bewildered at my powerlessness.
Yet in my heart I knew
our midnight encounter
would bear no receipt.
I trembled.
Nobody would find a record
that we ever knew each other.
My guilty conscience spoke
This is off the books isn't it?
He pocketed the cash smiling.
You already blew one fuse tonight honey'.
Who understands men, I thought,
as he prepared to leave me.
Why blow another?

Delta
you write with so many undercurrents I am bashed upon this shore and thats not to mention the shellgrit . you are a f ucking genius in your own vegimite.

Now knobbly knees hill has pissed off (come back Hill, for christsake) we are old skool (pre wolf days) lol . soon we will be gone.

Damn! shoulda used undercurrents in the poem too!

No, you shouldn't, Delta, they're better unnamed; as much as I thought of some of your other poems "wow, this one is her best", Sparkie IS so exceptional, that it's beyond any listings and all alone shining even when that night's crescent is lost in the dawning sun. Great applause from -

Terrific, ironic, double-entendre(ish), brilliant, and hilarious. (I've run out of superlative adjectives.)




soon we will be gone.

I hope to hell you don't mean that.


NOTE-- Your post must be pretty freakin' powerful-- I almost broke this borrowed PC
I'm using, and I almost demolished the LitNet!
