In response to "Stick It Up"

You caught me off guard with the ending, a chuckler.

In response to "Stick It Up"

Love this one! The torture-meets-humor is a lot of fun and relatable too. An appropriate ending to a challenging month of poetry.

In response to "Waiting for Death"

I love this and I understand all these emotions and ideas. "Keeping things gentle" is perfect, both in the beginning and end of the poem, and of the process. The short lines seem to mirror last breaths.

In response to "Aeroplane "

I like how this addresses the idea of the geographical cure, how relatable - I understand this wish.

In response to "Of You"

Structurally and instrumentally similar to "What am I doin' Hangin' Round", which I love, though not a Nesmith composition. (I like all of individual Monkees, but I hate when Micky mugs for the camera in the song's video. It's too good a song.)

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band covers two Nesmith songs on the excellent "Uncle Charlie and his Dog Teddy," "Some of Shelly's Blues" and "Propinquity." (The album also includes fantastic covers of "Mr. Bojanges" and "House at Pooh Corner," so it is among my all time favorite albums.)

I like the balloon, and that you offer doubt of signs.

(I particularly hated "You Light up my Life." Though I'm atheist, I like knowing that she is singing about Jesus.)

Will later investigate the song. I am a Monkees' fan.

In response to "Always Good"

Love hearing about the family playlist. Such a sweet poem. Love to you as you continue to grieve your brother.

We live in the neighborhood of a Catholic church, and it has been so busy!! Sadly, I will miss Easter service at my own church, but there will be joy! And possibly eggs and rabbits. Who knows?!

In response to "Like Me, My Teeth"

What a delight. I do like you and I like your teeth! Your teeth remind me of my teeth, though I did have braces; still, years make the teeth want to slide back into their natural places... I went to the dentist yesterday (probably why I chose this prompt!) re: yes, caring for them! And I always tell my kids to floss, the wisest advice I can give in life!

The dream images resonate so well. Aagghh, teeth in dreams!
