Burrowing: Scrabble Squabble Part IV
by Leo Durrant

Friday, November 30, 2007
Rated "G" by the Author.

The Scrabble Wars continue. Your play, Charlie. You can use the last two lines. I tried to end it with something a little more usable, but this was the best. So, for the sake of the poem, you get "un-nesting." Sorry for the inconvenience. But not really.


you taught me to fly
  and never land

      (neither a burrower
       nor a lander be)

    but still,
I burrow
  into your warmth


  under that all-protective wing


    ear pressed into
    the downy heart of love


nestled


nested


  blissfully


  I bathe in your song
  while I fear the un-nesting

I fear the un-nesting as much as I fear the unraveling...

You've got me stumped--I admit it. But check out Crystal's poem on my site--not bad either. Now I've got to try to incorporate her and your last lines--and I thought she was on my side!!! You guys are cleaver--very cleaver--you've hacked my heart to bitZ!!! It's okay. I mean, don't feel guilting or anything. I'll get over it...eventually....

he! such verbose, protracted imbroglio! but the chortles!

--and Leo brandishes his razor-edged poignard--his wit--and strikes yet again! Will this leave Charlie defeated and humbled? The anticipation is unbearable!
Reviewed by Karla Dorman, The StormSpinner 11/30/2007
Oh, ho, using an innocnet animal to try to shake Charlie's compassion...oh, boy, can't wait for the response! This is brilliant, Leo, a move I wasn't expecting. If this was chess, I'd say "Check." LOL Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
