Good Reads - No Extreme Content
A place to share pieces you like but either don't have room for on your RL or fall just short of a RL spot. As the thread title says, No Extreme Content, let's keep it appropriate for all comers.
I recently realized that I can't go back to find any of the pieces I've "Liked" so this thread is to make up for that oversight.
I read new poems, check other people's Reading Lists and Comments, look at older threads like this:
http://deepundergroundpoetry.com/forum/poetry/read/5768/
but there are still tons of pieces I'll never get to. Let's help one another find some good pieces we might otherwise have missed, both new and old. No self-promotion, there are other threads for that.
Please link to a specific piece and not just a poet. Also, tell us a little something about why you like the piece if you can, if not just drop the link

This one IS on my RL, I feel it hasn't gotten the readership it so richly deserves. A lovely, heartfelt piece of joy and sadness:

This one is a fun back and forth, two mix masters tossing words back and forth and beyond the fun is food for thought on language and intellectual prejudice:

Dark introspection with a dash of social commentary, some great phrasing throughout

This one's got a lot going for it, love-hate relationship, humor all around good writing
