a very powerful poem Kevin

Exquisite piece of poetry, the sensuality is so deftly signified by the yelling metaphors yet concealed carefully.5*****

Wonderful. Appreciated the closure.......5 stars for this excellent poem and to my favorite.

Whoa! ! This poem is smoking hot- - literally! ! Get the fire extinguisher out quick! ! Now this is what Poe would write if he ever wrote of the sexual nature of man... he seemed stuck on the yearning love angle [which may have been due to the times he lived in] - -excellent word choice, goodness gracious, you have an extensive vocabulary of incendiary words! ! !

This is magnificent, Kevin. The black widow as metaphor for that love-hate-love relationship that for many of us is a rite of passage. That second to last stanza has some of the most powerful surrealist imagery I've ever come across. The images are now ingrained. An amazing 10!

Line 3: too or to? Clawing with catlike courtesy ...nice alliterations. Beards? Optimism? A bit obscure, but fascinating as well. Bri :) TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, I SAY: THE POEM IS INTERESTING.
