First of all, I must say that I love the title - I love the word 'Flashback' and the meaning behind it. I can visualise clearly what you are saying, and I like the fact that I can insert my own memories and thoughts into this...

Yes Cynth - but wouldn't that make us actively seek them out - or force the issue, even. We would still in effect be tasting/smelling tiny shit particles - it wouldn't be good for the ozone layer either...

Fabulous, Gus, clever and funny, and genuinely poetical too. Have I missed the intended subject of this lampoon?
Also, did you know that Ben Franklin said that the invention of a pill to perfume farts would make the richest man ever known, and be forever a boon to mankind?

'cooing' and 'whooing' aside, this is really charming, graceful and inviting. Embraceable imagination is a wonderful thing.

Ooops, maybe it's an eerie eyrie! Must be all those cooing owls! I guess owls don't coo in the bird books, but it sounded softer and sweeter and that was the effect I wanted. So I spent many days training my owl to say "coooo" ;-) Strictly speaking I don't have a stream running down my stairs either! Not yet anyway! xx

Enjoyed a lot.You describe it well, "through pipe-smoke and cataracts" is good. "As lifts like urinals, out of order, and Arthritic knees would not bend at steps".Makes it sound like the urinals won't bend at the steps. I think you need "with lifts" not "as".Wouldn't the last line be better as"an architect for the graveyard"?

The penguins are on the march again
blowing their own trumpets
TARAAA TARAAA TARAAA!!!!
The seal lions follow
going all gallumphy
splodgesplodgesplodge
(that's what seal ions do best!)
The whales sing so sweet
it makes me want to cry.
A voice so pure and tiny
and delicate as fallen snow
(listen to Hatta's audio).
And then with a crystalline flourish
their yawning over for another year
come the stomping pawing and carousing!
Come the lovely polar bear!!!
GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

How lovely you are, how sweet and endearing to confess to being targeted by my Phartesque - ( A description for the high blown or windy tales of intrepid endeavour)
To mess with your mind and convince you that there was indeed a subliminal and subtle message would be demanding just a little from both your razor sharp repartee and feminine intuition.. No, I am overjoyed that you rollick and roll so as to speak to my good old ‘Toilet Humour’, toilet humour at its best no less what an accolade.
I thank you as always, lovely legs.
Hope to see you soon.

I'm so glad I've come back to WoL; I've missed you and your words.
This poem is simply brilliant.
Comment is about Love in a charcoal shell (blog)
Tea cakes vicar? And was that really 'sanctum' of the church?
Love it as you knew I would! I can remember liking Dick Emery too. Simple humour, but effective.
The poem is brill - pacey, racey and full of wonderfully funny flatulence - toilet humour at its best.
Now you are going to tell me it has nothing to do with flatulence and is instead a clever metaphor for the 'crap' clerics feed us.
To that I say, poo - poo, poo and thrice poo.

And even if you do manage to find a half decent translator - the cultural differences are so great that the nuance may be lost.
His 'I love you dear' might very well translate to 'Here are your handcuffs, now I'm going to tie you to the kitchen sink for the rest of your life'.

No, no this won't do at all. Translated into Venusian? How do you KNOW that's what it says. don't be fooled. These translators are notoriously unreliable. especially Martian ones. Perhaps, if you publish the original Martian text, we could find someone to check the translation, give you the harsh reality about these Martian types.

Cynthia, thanks for taking the time again to read another one of my works. "Absolution" is very symbolic and that's why it's hard "to get". Each reference has to do with someone in my family. It was very cathartic to write...just like so much poetry is! I very much appreciate your comments.
Thanks again,
Lisa

I like this, not sure why, perhaps just the powerful idea. There are references I don't get, and, poetically, parts I would likely edit, but it still 'works', and what more could a writer ask?

This was taken from a longer piece of work that I edited down. I did try to leave it a little ambiguous.
The longer piece is currently being used as a song with my band John The Baptist. I'll post it up on here soon with the MP3.
