The poem itself is a vis-a'-vis of implied meaning. Now you see me, now you don't. That's the way it reads to me. It might or it might not. I don't mind the subject and you do end on somewhat a positive note...so I like that it has a somewhat finish to it. A "just not today" attitude. The earthy tone is good (e.g. terra cotta, all the flowers) and it is consistent. The language of the poem is a plus for me.
I don't know...the poem is so unexciting that it doesn't excite me too much as a reader. Show me a reason to care.
I know what you mean about the capitalization, I don't necessarily like it either. When it comes to writing poetry, Word gives me a hell of a time. I may fix that. You know, when I wrote this I probably didn't know if it would come together for me or not so that may explain the "vis-a-vis"....
Appreciate your comments
