RE: It Takes Skill

in #poetry7 years ago

Delightfully naughty! Expertly picked picture too. I had to scroll, and scroll and scroll while the popsicle stretched longer and longer. Well done! Then the raw poem!

I really enjoyed this stanza:

you’ve grown in size
so so much
I feel those veins
you’re ready to bust

In particular it was the line, "so so much" Not often are double words effective. They can come across like errors, or bleh, but here, here they were powerful. I was reminded of the ever-scrolling image and the grown size "so so much." It makes you want to just marvel at the sheer weight of the growing thing in front of you.

I also liked the turn at the end where after finishing, the speaker gets their own treat eaten. Although, "slut" and "up" didn't ring great as rhymes for me.

I think the poem should end with,

and I’m ready to blow!
cutting the last stanza entirely.

To me the last stanza didn't add the humor, sensation, or the shock value the rest of the poem did.

Thank you for sharing!

I'm glad you liked that lollipop image, when I saw how big it was I knew it was the one! You're definitely right about the last stanza, it does seem disjointed. Thanks for the feedback!
