Re: Surrogate

Hi Woetrame I like this line 'Rampant inhalation with its blue glow', but then again the next line throws me off. There are too many ‘I’s and it is a burden.try striking out the I’s first and also the ,’so’s,’ it will be helpful. What is the need to capitalize this ‘nothing’? 'So I go to the toilet ...

I want to disagree with you.One does not have to be realistic when writing poetry.Why can't we have a paint names Archangel ? Just let loose your imagination.

Thank you for asking me to submit a poem.Your poems are so sparse and revised I just don't know what to comment.I must update myself on minimalist poetry.

Another Phase

All Saints' College where the sea rolled though the sea could never be seen. Reading Lawrence, reading Malthus, heard the train whistle blowing, carrying passengers to Kochu Veli. Parents visiting Friday evenings, tins of yellow laddoos. My mother became more active with less thoughts of death.
