Babel
Jabberwocky said:

I also liked the image of building a tower in a pit. It seems somehow a metaphor for relationships, or for life in fact

Jabberwocky said:

Well, it means I thought my good points and the good I did and far far outweighed the sins I committed, or the inadequacies I showed. It suggests a self awareness of those \"sins\" and a conscious effort too. But I was judged only on those \"sins\" and the fall is both the disappointment in understanding that and the fact that I \"fell\" consequently from a state or place of grace and love a long way down, in fact back into the pit with my sins suggesting I dwelt on them (as one does analysing failure). The title suggests the tower was build on miscommunication and that is why it was perceived differently.
Something like that.

Thanks. I\'m glad you got it. I aimed for density and no redundant possible meanings.

Thanks. Slightly ironic to write a poem about the powerlessness of words, but sometimes they are unfortunately.

To a Slut on Mothers Day
Jabberwocky said:

Yeah well, she did that, she is that, she\'ll be sorry, it\'ll be too late. She\'s in the \"forever after\" she made.
That\'s pretty much the story.
Thanks for your comment.

Sorry that was your experience. I know - it\'s usually \'nice\' loving, etc poems for mothers, with many of us blessed to have them (or have had them).
