“vocabulary”

i

covet

diction

syllables

titillating

my tongue

speech rolling

Eros unabated

speak-hunt

repeating

me

I think this is the best poem of yours I've read Christine, I really like it. The transit one has some nice bits but needs some editing, and the Rufus one is messy (if intentionally so).

I have the feeling you haven't been published yet right? I'd really suggest you submit this for publication on somewhere like Outsider Ink - http://outsiderink.com - interesting work on there, and it's one of the best places for new writers to submit. Also the editor Sean is pretty good at getting back to you quickly, so you wouldn't have the usual 6 month wait for a reply (journals get really annoyed if you simultaneously submit, so you have to keep each poem on ice until you hear back).

stick with it, and drop me an email if you want some editing advice, or just for a chat or whatever :)
