    Thanks Anna ...just a surreal poem based on some book titles grabbed from one shelf...no deep and meaningfuls here unless the reader is inclined to captiousness:)

      In real life I would like it to be known that I am not committed to a hideous knky German (in colour.) Ha..thought you would like the German in colour :)...

      " Hideous Kinky" has been made into a movie...charming and delightful...don't be turned off by the title...you would like that too !

    I like how you weave bits of French into your poem. Nice combination of titles.

    Ahhh, Kierkegaard. The trouble with poetry is that it is just words. But, from time to time, some lucky poet is able to join the spirit with the letter and reveal the glory. Excellent selections, such a range of titles!

    Wonderful. I feel my bookshelves are either empty or hiding a lot of poetry.

    Love the footnotes and spurious stitching you've inserted throughout the assemblage. As you said, surreal - but I'd contend that you do have a subtle (and humorous!) narrative flowing through this. Well done!
