Mars and Venus

The nearness of Mars close and closer still to Earth ruddy Mars blazes. See Venus and Mars Lovers and close opposites burn in black night sky. Loving little girls draw rainbows hearts and flowers. Little boys draw swords.

What a tantalizing play on the word "draw." You have an intelligence in your poetry that scintillates, sizzles and lingers hotly on the brain. The imagery takes you, the intelligence holds you.

Barbara,

Three short stanzas and you bring into it so much! Fantasy and reality, love and war. Very wonderful play on words and on the imagination!
