RE: One of Seymour's poems...

beautiful, except for missing description i guess:

suburban?
female cat (buddy refers to cat as "she")?
the widower is "young"?
the cat "approaches" him, is not just there...
man is "sitting" on patch of lawn...

>>> daniel.yocum@Peterson.af.mil 06/20/03 02:31PM >>>
an empty bedroom
on the lawn he is lying
full moon hangs above

dull ghostly feline
rolling over bites
widowers wounded left hand

Daniel

give him a hand, folks!

Offered palm? Buddha? I was picturing vegetation.
Daniel

melanie, don't give up now.

problems: 2nd line should read widower and hence 8
syllables.

why 'mistress'? cat is clearly a member of his
household, ie his cat? of course buddy wants us to
think of muriel. but not a mistress.

i love your use of palm instead of hand. the tender,
vulnerable part. and there's a buddha suggestion
here. the last line is excellent.
