nup, this one doesn't work.
Tell me if you would rather I not comment when I think your pieces don't work.
Being so concise they are pretty much yes or no.
cheers,

Your comments are always welcome and appreciated. I do not expect everyone to understand let alone like my Rhykus and other poetic offerings. So I expect and accept both positive and negative comments, however critical as long as the comments are honest and direct.
If you will permit me a little rant, IMHO, there is too much avoidance, sidestepping and tiptoeing around a variety of issues, especially when certain groups, genders, creeds, religions, credos, lobbies etc, etc are concerned. There needs to be one universal scale and rating for everyone without having to itemize and delineate each viewpoint based on the origin, the target, the audience and the ripple effect.

[grins] Your rant is appreciated
and helps me accept/understand the work better.
May I suggest that your works need not always stand alone, lonely, bearing solitarily the burden of meaning?
Have you ever read my haiku/senryu series, "Haikookas"?

I read your suggested poem and the following lines in your poem were the best (IMHO):
lone kookaburra
laughs without hesitation
his own audience
Since your entry is seasonal, I wanted to share my seasonal entry posted a while back (listed on page 2 in my work entries)
Fo(u)r The Seasons:
---------------------------
Sprouting shoots of Spring
Nature’s bounty emerging
Anew beginning
Summer’s wind flowing
Celestial star’s orb glowing
Flowers are blooming
Drying leaves curling
Fall’s colours encompassing
Autumn abounding
Nipping air chilling
Grounded snow flakes whitening
Winter descending
