Two years have passed, yet this excellent poem remains Excellent with that hilarious undertone. TOP Marks for my Professor the great Poet Bill Collins!
This poem is a beautiful poem. It is we'll executed. It is interesting to read time and again. Full stars.
I am a lecturer/professor (=lecturer in the roman countries is the same as professor title) bit a problem for me to go back to my students years, but this poem is very imaginable for persons who write poetry. Hilarious undertone, but.....of course excellent!
I taught this poem in CompII. The reference to author's connedtion to reader was applied across other poems of distinction we studied. A wonderful teaching poem.
A brilliant write. I can relate to the torture part. Most of my poems are tortured. But they seem to like it. lol.
A magnificent journey as i imagined the mouse's nasty hasty move catching my attention unyil i was thrown off board to realise the truth of encaptivating meaning and torturous understanding domain. I have no words to admire the most beautiful work. Into my favourite.
A wonderful poem full of wit imbued with compelling imagery.
I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out, or walk inside the poem's room and feel the walls for a light switch. Great imagination. tony
No way my birthday is in like 5 days, oh yeah and this poem is pretty ok.
all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it.// it wonders me
Vivid imagery indeed. All the ways you can teach poetry. I know. I did that.
Bill's imagination soars in contemplation. That is what one has to do to enjoy a poem, but it has to come with one's own experience. Following Bill's instruction won't do a thing. I am writing this with my own recent experience with one simple ancient word- OUM not even the whole poem.
