Rubber Snakes and Dog Whistles!

Robin Labenberg, my newest AD fan was reviewing Robert Jude Forese's poem The Continuous Cool of Night and she was distracted by my review which speaks of poems of rubber snakes and dog whistles. She said I must apologize to the Judeace, so Jude, here is my apology. Please whistle if you accept! Oh and this is for Alexandra's comment too!


The lead poet,
he
has more command
than any dog whistle


The firebrand,
she has a whistle
with a bead on one
end and a compass and
temperature gauge on
the other end, flames
point to the Ocean to cool


With an attached braided
kangaroo leather lanyard,
to "come," "release," or "retrieve,"
for "down," "stop," or "WHOA!"


The original coyote whistle with
silver pewter accents for the
upland hunt or field trial, in the
duck blind or goose pit


How did that double-headed
snake get all the
way down there---they just
wind around your ankle ma'am
whack it off!

Blimey... I had that exact pair of shoes when I was 13... spent all me pocket money on 'em and then got the heel stuck in a grating while crossing the street... nearly cost me me life. And the nose-bleeds from the excess height were a bit unmanageable. :)) Guess some of us are just plain flip-flop sandal girls when all's said and done! But, my, I wish you had been around to meet La Belle Rouge who sadly left the Den about a year ago... this sooooo reminds me of our Scarlet Flaming Redhead of the Utmost Taste, and she and Jude did quite a few collabs together... guess you got the Lead Poet taped here, Sage... or is it on the end of a lanyard??! Let me know when it's the start of the hunting season!! Gotta luv it... LOL Kate xx :))

You are clever, witty, talented and in tune with the poetic and subliminal sounds of nature and the world.

You are controversial, tongue and cheek, multi talented, but most of all brilliant Sage
When you provoke reactions from all quarters like you do, then you know you are doing your job at the top of your ability ....:)!
