abusethe redness that came after/nothing more will come after... I like going from came after to come, but I'm a big fan of the word after in the second line... it sounded a bit awkward

the extended metaphor was really great... and I love the title and how it's the last line because it's very true about some people.

abusei don't think the title is very fitting of this piece, especially when the whole river analogy plays such a heavy part of the poetry. it's raw, and makes the reader pity (somewhat) the author. however, it seems stagnant and doesn't really inspire or move me. it was an enjoyable read, so i thank you for that.

abuseyes,— men are truly saps. ;-* m



It has to be addiction this thing,—Love ;
Else no sane mortal would venture its maze :—
Tangled wilderness where all’s upside down ;
While doing all those things that in childhood
Boys were convinced were unsanitary.

It must be something girls put in my drinks ;
Though I am scrupulous and never would
Stoop so low to bind beauties to this beast ;
But now I am most certainly convinced
Women capable of most anything.

So I take great care in opening wine ;
My gin and tonics I control closely ;
All water that I take must come with seals ;
For I am slowly learning to withdraw
From that irresistible drug called,—Love.

abuseSad. I didn't expect it to be from this point of view. I thought the narrator would be the one in love with love. But I like this, I like getting more than what I expect. This is beautifully written.
