< not with yellow flowers >

[Brownlie]

when is a question not a question?

.
When it's rhetorical?

When is sarcasm not sarcasm?

---

get the point of this poem. i feel like it is more of a rhyming statement of sorts. that flowers are dandy. but tv gets your attention, or something along those lines. i feel it is hard to get a theme out of here for me

.
Me too. (It's because the poem sucks purple donkey dicks.)

one yellow flower amidst a sea of identical red flowers.


.
Well, not enough red ones, but that was the best I could do.
.

Asking why repeatedly can lead to an infinite regress.

.
A few well-placed "because"'s can usually stop it.

No one has noticed that the picture with the poem
is of a microwave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

This poem, besides sucking, has more layers of metaphorical narrative
than all of us have dirty underpants. So much for 'deep'.
Hint: One of the many things the yellow flowers symbolize (in the
semiotic sense, not the signage one) has something to do with
arnica cordifolia's penchant for a certain ranunculus.

I actually thought it might have been a microwave but I let the thought disintegrate. Doesn't semiotics study signs or does it involve symbols and signs? BTW microwaves use nuclear power don't they? I don't know if meaning dies when you go into metaphorical layers. Sucks is a term that implies measurement and comparison. Unless the poem is designed to "suck" or measured against the finest poetry it does not suck. I have seen much worse. I have been raised on t.v,s and microwaves and now I don't fear an instant nuclear destruction. I also have to try very hard to make my brain work, it goes on haphazard autopilot. If we are to believe in fairy tales our souls will fly when our burning bodies are pummeled by gravity and our husks are left as tenderized meat.
