  the elements tease nature
  as if words teasing a poet

    Like a dog with a bone I romp with my poems
    then chew them down to the nub.

    It is cool when two lines tease forward and make more sense than one hundred and twenty!

    Congrats on the silver!

    Thank you for this entry in the contest. Yes, your response to the prompt is a poem to me, it is beautiful, and makes me see the almost-but-not-quite stage of poetry, where ideas are teasing, choosing their words, changing as frost changes to water, the form in which it can provide sustenance. Lovely.

    Neat...the usage of tease adds both a playfulness and a sense of continuum...feels as if the seasons are personified /impish...

    ahhhh teasing huh?
    and so i read this and became aroused by those elements of nature... should i fight the shame- i ask myself?.. and then i arrive at the conclusion that i am the sole proprietor of these memories you took me to, and if i do not exercise them... they might cease to exist and leave on the wind.
