My least favorite words: "lop" & "dismember" My favorite words: "peel" and "pith" I might adapt the second to last line, "And leave you my heart, as its all I have left" to something like, "I'd leave you with my heart; as it's all I have left"... with the "and" starting that line it makes the first 19 lines seem like one generic thought, and they deserve to be considered slowly and individually... Could you submit some of your favorite Lori Carson poems to the list? I could use some inspiration..
