It's the one I ...That's what I thought too. It's the one I felt best about because it paints a picture, and I can remember what I saw. I sat there, and literally wrote down 5 descriptions. "Autumn's mockery, absence of boats, true patriotism, scarce light, brick and mortar." Then later, I thought about the whole scene and expanded. For sure I know what you mean about "complete." I always change things around, the same way. It's rare to be completely satisfied. Obviously I love the comparison of the poem to a photographic moment, because photography's my thing. I should try more poems the same way I started that one!

I enjoy pieces that have such an impact that you could frame them. They come as a painting or a punch and Riverside Interlude definitely does that for me. Please don't take offense by my use of the word complete. I have several pieces of poetry that still, after months or years, at least feel like they are shape shifting; squirming about and what not. I love the couple in this piece. It is complex but tight. It's like a photography of a moment rarely seen. A moment when several things converge all at once.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
