Re: One of Seymour's poems...

oh i see, yes, seymour's LAST poem was the one before he committed suicide. it was the straight classical style haiku.

this white cat widower poem is the last poem in buddy's COLLECTION of 184 seymour poems. buddy first read the white cat widower poem in 1948...when seymour was...how old? i'm assuming it was one of his later poems, which would be accessible to his old librarian miss overman.

is it meant to imply that with the little lady out of the picture, his old pussy lust will come back to bite him in the hand? tell me haikux...how can i make my poem warm up a little.

buddy says that he described the plot of the white cat widower poem "criminally"...which i took to mean that the words he used to describe the poem were very close if not exact to the actual poem...owned lawfully by seymour's widow and forbidden for buddy to use in his seymour intro.

melanie,

i think if you can incorporate michael's observations
below into your lovely effort, you will have written
seymour's poem.

(the 'who' is weak and could go for another
descriptive word.)

wait: doesn't seymour specifically say it's the
'left' hand?
