I think murmuring works.
The Great Write Way
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
And the rest of it?
I like it. I have a nagging feeling that I don't quite have the background to understand it (I assume a black-eyed Susan is a kind of flower?) but I like the tone of it and I can definately identify with the feeling.
I like the repeat of "the breeze" a lot - it all flows really comfortably up to "expectations," and then feels a little stilted to me. Something about the "with the" I think.
Oh, yeah, Tep. It sounds beautiful, but this desert-dweller can't really picture what a blackeyed Susan looks like. I wrote an acrostic recently but I wrote it cause I was upset. May need some time to pass before I share.
Black-eyed Susan. Common summer flower 'round these here parts.
They're really pretty. I can see why you would put them in.
Thanks for the linky, Steph. Pretty flower. (I learn something new every day on this board!) I can see why that image fits in the poem well.
Teppy, it's lovely. As lazy as the season itself, not to mention the susan itself.
I like the -ing suffix, but then, I always like indirect better than direct.
WHOA.
(my current Amazon author sales rank:
Amazon.com Sales Rank: 3,415
Yesterday it was 1,246,000. (Lower is better; I'm pretty damned sure Ms. Rowling or Senator Clinton is 1 right now).
Either someone's been busy ordering, or else everyone else stopped selling....
