Sometimes I Wish

Sometimes I wish
I were a kittens paw,
Shuffling and feeling
Some moth’s small body,
Tickling my pads.

Sometimes I wish
I wore a flowers scent,
Wafting and seeking,
Liking a petals parts
Tickling my lips.

Sometimes I wish
I woke with tomorrow’s eyes,
Thrashing and pleading,
Invisibly seeding,
Tickling my mind.

Sometimes I wish
I was a simple sound,
Aggregating the needy,
Without images small
Tickling my head.

Sometimes I wish
I would quit wishing,
Endlessly transgressing,
Within a body frail
Stickling my sight.

I wish, sometimes,
Sometime wove a tighter stitch,
Preening and praying,
Splicing and replaying,
Tickling my being.

Some days, Erin, i wish for all of them at once,
a multifaced incongruous menage,
the gift of poetic imagination.
i like this much and much again.

I like your poem a lot, and was especially struck by the way you personified 'Sometime', linking it so enigmatically with all those frenetic gerunds, and ultimately wrapping it up tightly with your sense of self so that that tentative state of wish fulfillment becomes inextricably a part of your own identity. Well, I haven't managed to capture nearly so well with my review, what your poem manages so well to encapsulate, but I hope you get a sense of my immense appreciation for your art.

After reading your lines... the last stanza sticks out from the rest... You've used a word with "ing" in each of the 3rd line of each stanza... and then the last one change with "I wish, sometimes..." seems fitting... but the second line with the usage of "sometime" again is a confusing... did you just want to say "woven a tighter stitch"... Thanks for sharing...
