Love how you've arranged this poem, makes it interesting to look at...and it's true half the people asking how you are hardly even stick around to hear your reply!

What's so distressing
About this cross dressing
Is half the time
The men scrub up
Better than
Real women?

Interestingly put - 50 shades of white equating to 50 types of hormonal variations in probably most everyone we see around us. I did a casual study of this topic at one time as part of a wider reading programme I was on, and found that our animal and insect kingdoms seemingly presented similar variations. I think generally speaking, people more readily accept the scenarios, probably given the likes of the brilliant wartime code breaker Turin.

The same ideas were expressed in an earlier poem of mine:

No you can't be Spiderman
"Why not?" You are a girl
"I like to play with boyish things
Give boyish things a whirl"

No you cannot play with dolls
"Why not?" You are a boy
And boys don't play with girly things
"Just like them for my toys"

Mysticism, eroticism, and karaokeism all are referenced in this latest homage to it. Here the poet brings it all to fruition while simultaneously holding it sacred.

Balls, I'm tired but I do hope you enjoy reading it.?

Keith,

This reminds me of the good ole days of putting ants and other insects onto wolf spider webs. Don't judge me! It was the wrong thing to do, but I was just a kid then. That being said, the metaphor and presentation of the predatory among us, the larger us, is well done.

Loved this one - brings back so many memories. How we never killed ourselves I can't think when I look back. My (of course now adult) kids were even worse. They were usually out with friends and sometimes used to come home and say they were going to 'stay at home and read' that day, so I always wondered who was out gunnning for them!

Without saying sorry

each petal dropped

we don't talk.
