Oases Comments

Great stuff. Wonderfully hopeless bitter twist in the last four lines but it would have had more punch if those last lines shaped up to the form of the foregoing ones. I suspect you gave up trying to do this. Please have another go - even if just for this humble admirer

I like this. I like the bounce of the words both phonetic as well as visually. But something about reading it leaves me feeling melancholy.

Hya Sheila! Great poetry as usual! Never get tired of your poems! Loved every word! Luv from Katie xoxoxoxo

Lovely double internal rhymes and a neat satisfying ending. Very good

Well put........ Rick

So well done Sheila. I enjoyed this one.

Well, well, lookie who I've found! Hey Sheila. It's good to read your work again. I think this is probably one of my favorites from you. Love the style this was written in...might have to try it myself. :) Waterbird

very clever - well done

This is an 'I gotcha' poem first rate...not ugly or vicious...but carrying the reader along with beauty in each 'oases' and then the zinger. Well done. Raynette

LOL! Yup! I did...but don't tell anyone :))

Hey Stranger! Loved this....did you rhyme? :) I'm teasing you. I liked the way this one read and looked. And I loved the ending. Great stuff as always! !

thanks Uriah...a bit of rhyme never hurts every now and then :))

I super dig the rhyme pattern and it is pretty clever with the put-down ending.
