marcy speak and green things

I read this, but honestly, I don’t get it.  What are green things and red ones?  What is it that you believe?  Did you shoot yourself in the end.... Are you still a virgin to murder? Is this a happy poem or are you a sad person.  You must have shot the gun...Did you hit anything?  You obviously didn't hit yourself, otherwise you couldn’t have written the poem.... Wow, I’m confused by it all... but maybe that was the point.....

I actually liked the poem, it definatly had a good tension potential feel in it, maybe its due to the length of the spaces in betweeen that it might not be easy to read it as one piece....
I like how you spoke in a specific way asif confiding in the reader, intriguing write!

Just as we discussed the other day, some poems are NOT meant to be "defined", simply felt. This is one of those I think.

I enjoyed this, and

felt it ( although I do think the structure doesn't do it justice ;) )

Wonderfully done poem.  Very complex, yet simple, if that makes sense.  I "have to beleive," too, although neither of us tells the other what or who to believe in or about.  That is good.  I do have some quite varient of sad, perhaps the saddest, news for you, though:  you are GOING TO DIE!  Me, too.  You demonstrate remarkable creativity and poetic talent.
