Were the words poem 1 and 2 there before? I don't remember them.

alapip In reply to beeswingblue [2012-02-29 15:34:35 +0000 UTC]

nope. i split the tanka into 2 poems,
to be read 3 different ways.

does it still seem to make sense to you?
it makes more sense to me now.

but, that may be delusion...

beeswingblue In reply to alapip [2012-02-29 15:37:26 +0000 UTC]

I enjoyed it more when it didn't make obvious sense; it required a leap of faith (excuse the term) to understand it. But that's just me.

alapip In reply to beeswingblue [2012-02-29 16:40:57 +0000 UTC]

you think it's 'obvious' now???

what comes to mind for me,
is, "too clever by half".
