Waltzes I suppose

and out of their pollen comes a GEORGIA SO LOUD	1
they themselves cannot contain	2

(flowers)	3

today while my insides were blooming slow and wilting fast	4
I was easy in a book of two pages	5
one said love	6
the other said likewise	7

if all books were this easy we would never read them	8

lai lai lai lai i feel so genius, when i saw title i click first, because i am like this is surely lai, and i read and i am sure, for sure.

line 1 confuses me.
line 4-8 sound separate from 1-3?

i really really enjoy the punchlinee, and line 4 is so pretty.

perfect poem for me to read this Friday. Lai, you are a poet. You amaze me.

I love poems that begin with "and."  Not sure why.  Anyway :)
I really love this.  I mean..wow.  This is blindsighted love - I was really prepared for a mediocre poem based upon the title.  The images are great, language choices are brilliant - this is simply fabulous.  A 10 and A Favourite.

I'm back, rereading all my favourites.  I reccommend punctuation.  Still love this.
