may i just comment on the HEAVENLINESS of the word "whirlover"? it's BEAUTIFUL! i love how the whole poem conveys smooth sliding swirling movement, so elegant and maddening... excellent. simply amazing.

I love it. It's excellent- as usual. My favorite parts were "Dance, Ballerina with the words you keptlove would have gone in the end (wouldn't it, Ballerina?)" and "It was only a whirlover so whirl, Ballerina, whirl..." and especially "with the porcelain gleam in your eyes (LIAR)". I adore it. The whole thing is just bittersweet. It's beautiful. Never stop writing, Panda- you rock.

i've read the book the poem gives off such a sad, yet breathtakingly beautiful atmosphere good work!

keep writing!

-Love those lines, and the line about the Ballerina; beautiful work, you really created a solid and powerful mood in this.
