thanks for the time; just just just posted an edit, which actually does have a comma (lucky touch). i'm glad that the other character could come alive to a degree without being described too heavily!
again, appreciate the words
Slippery as Veronique's throat.
Let me ask this-- at what point in the
development of a poem, does the writer
'mean?'
How will the writer mean?
-- Say what you mean.
-- Ok, It's a nice cheek-piece.
-- That means you like it.
-- No, not exactly. I just said it's
a nice cheek-piece.
-- What do you mean by saying it's a
nice cheek-piece?
-- I mean, many horsemen would be proud
to have it on their horse.
-- The adjective 'nice' seems a little
weak for a cheek-piece.
-- It was made for Alexander's horse.
-- Well, if so, it was more than nice.
-- What do you mean?
Like Veronique's throat.
Maybe meaning is not so important.
So, I advise-- 'Look For The Silver Lining."
What does THAT mean, Hobbs?
Does the poet 'inject' meaning from the
outside? Infuses? Can the poet, after a month,
come back and 'shoot' meaning into his poem?
What kind of rewrite will it take to make more
mreaning, a better meaning, a more satisfactory
meaning?
meaning
meaning
meaning-meeny-minny-mo.
Is 'meaning' the final communication link?
I don't know.
