Re: My girl friend is pint-sized

I don't get how the title, "My girl friend is pint-sized," relates/connects to the rest of the poem.

In the 'Boston Legal' show, an attorney jokes "My girl friend is pint-sized" b/c she's a small person....    ;)

Re: No Muse is Bad News

1st stanza made me think of a breakup.

Get that it's about writers block, but I didn't like:
"
like a….

like a….. thingy

with a ….something something

in a something."
Perhaps it's unneeded or can be replaced by something else?

Re: Tuesday's Towers - Never Forget

Timely.

Glad it's not too sentimental.

"serpent's eye" = evil?

Whose point of view is it?  The towers?

Re: Carling with Cathy: Written and spoken.

As an American, I didn't know:
  • can of Carling (assumed beer?)
  • smooth git (like grit??; couldn't find online def)
  • washhouse
But nice imagery/story.

Re: Driving out Daisies

Dig what your saying, but wonder if a diff persona (e.g., from grass/daisies/concrete's perspective)'d make it more unique.

Re: When the white paneled door opens (versions 1&2)

I prefer the Original, but both work.

Nice imagery!

Wonder why Mother is the only capital word?
