I was building skipping stones
Lisa was being serious,
so I slowed down some
but kept spying them with my eyes
I'm thinking I could build a bridge
between two small dunes.
Lisa says it was
the Office of Homeland Fear
the day the street lamps went out
and the telephones vanished
and then re-appeared.
I wished it was aliens
"Not Them," she said, "THEM!"
I may not have enough stones
I tell her,
she says it'll be okay
if I can get it part-way.
Please tell me what you think

Doncha hate when you feature a poem for 60+ points and someone pastes some of your poem back to you for their comment? I hate that.
Anyways, I always enjoy the Lisa poems. She's almost always serious. Well ... appears to be. And the poet is innocent, (except when he's looking up Lisa's dress) and almost childlike whether he's building/skipping stone or reaching in a bag to make words. Yes, an innocence that is very appealing and even when he fails he keeps trying and never gives up. Lisa usually shows him the way.
Good to see a new Lute poem. You really should write more.

I definitely didn't understand the metaphors, but I like it anyway. Great flow. I loved the lines,
"I wished it was aliens
"Not Them," she said, "THEM!"
I may not have enough stones
I tell her,
she says it'll be okay
if I can get it part-way." -

great!
brilliant, I'm going through a lot of stuff right now and it probably doesn't relate at all, but somehow I connected it to the many feelings I have and it symbolized for me everything I'm dealing with right now. Bravo, well done. -
turkey sandwiches, cia jedis
and flickering lights
all sprinkled copiously with mystique sauce
serve hot, eat with a silver fork
and write about it

I could relate to this, and I'm not sure if I should be appreciative, or scared.
Well done. -
