Poem Commentary

This and that often need each other.

Counterpoints

Found as I am of cute freckles

I like suntan much better

Fond as I am of quick email

Nothing’s surpassed the love letter

 

Fond as I am of my import

Wish Detroit would build my car

Fond as I am of a lover’s moon

I’ll still wish upon a star

 

Fond as I am of daisies

It’s the jasmine that melts my heart

Fond as I am of chocolate cake

I eat last the frosted part.

 

Fond as I am of hot showers

I prefer two in a bubble bath

Fond as I am flirty winks

I wait for the musical laugh

 

Fond as I am of pizza

I’d still rather wash it down

Fond as I am of the circus

My favorite’s always the clown

 

Fond as I am of flying

I breathe relief after we land

And fond as I am holding your gaze

I’d rather slow fondle your hand.

 

Fond as I am of travel

Best friends are best close to home

Fond as I am of my hairbrush

I always will pocket a comb.

 

Fond as I am of creating

Lines to be read by a friend

Something inside’s anticipating

To arrive at some smashing good end.

This was an absolute pleasure to read, Harv. And the end was definitely 'smashing good' ;) Thanks so much for making me smile this morning.

Harvy, this is so cute and unique of you, I love it! I can relate to the bubble bath of two verses the shower. Much more delightful when enjoyed by two, this liquid with bubbles in. Maybe a star or two floating and I will wish on mine and catch one, you the same? Awesome write my friend!! Hugz

Oh Harver, you always know how to balance the id and ego of poetry. A grand scheme of fondness! ginga

How did I manage to leave out the super=ego? I'll have to try harder . . . yes, that is what I should have done before now. LOL Harv

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
