I ate humble pie

In some acts wee

She too

But together we sing alike cuckoo.

 

Be it apple or humble

As sweet and sour preamble

We get the tastes

And avoid future regrets.

 

Apologies or humilaions somehow

Make us bow

To move along with cautions

And enjoy our renewed transformations.

 

Spinal functional feels

With flexible zeals

Teach us to see

Even if we eat humble pie.

Their is a freedom and lightness and grace and quirkiness to your poems that is just exhilarating to me....I adored the "wee" in the second line....."But together we sing alike cuckoo...."is just brilliant.
I think you caught the ebb and flow of any relationship, in any kind of intercourse, with exactitude here, manoj.

really like this a lot! the cadence is superb and the lyrics - ooo freudian slip - i think these are lyrics, not verse! are refreshing and creative.

Hey Ron O,
WHAT RUBBISH YOU TALK... A DISGRACE FOR GATHER.

Mind your language plese.

I am forwarding your comments to Gather moderator and owners.

manoj, I agree with elise, these are words that sing off the page.
Ian Thorpe Sep 28, 2006, 12:15pm EDT
I enjoyed the casual, confident way you handled the rhymes. This does seem to capture the rhythm of a relationship as someone already said.

Best wishes.
