Do you think Yahoo! will recognize this as a question regarding the attributes and shortcomings of this poem?

Question

*****

IN NEED OF A SHOWER

Mud-maker rain,

bring down the waves

of cleansing spray,

makes me

pure

again,

Wash my face

and lather my hands

so the grime and decay

leave me,

clean,

shaved,

Don’t show me a mirror

where I may see

anger and pain,

return me

fresh,

saved.

*****

Answer 1

Baptised you be!

Yahoo has a hard time distinguishing questions from "questions."

Answer 2

LOL...TD...Yahoo itself does not recognize a question. It is the people who answer/surf/whatever that are responsible for reporting a post as a non-question.

TD, I read, with mounting interest, all of your posts. Your poetry draws me. Though I will admit I have found some less than fascinating, and some more than enchanting.

This one? Shortcomings? Attributes? I am qualified to point neither out.....however, I will say this one gave me quite a giggle...the immediate reading is hilarious, the layers, once read again, become more onion like as the poem settles in...

Answer 3

im not qualified either,

but everybody here seems to think

you got behind your ears and

did your elbows, so

i'll just soak up your clean example.

ty.

you did you put the soap back, right?  :)

Answer 4

Not too many people--certainly not the Yahoo machine---will be able to find shortcomings in this poem. Rain: "mud-maker" and source of "cleansing spray." Talk about a dual nature!! The entire poem is metaphoric--special.

Answer 5

"Hi!",

Hmmm, I agree

Cheers : )

Answer 6

Great poem TD.

Answer 7

Last stanza an 'acrostic?'

Dwarfs.....neat!

This poem uses good plays on words...the ending words are turned well, for the next stanza....neat..uh, clean saved!
