Poison Ivy Poem by Jennifer Colyne Hall

thanks for the invitation to read more of your work? /play? . i like the poet note, as i also liked your bio [seems i didn't read it before; maybe it wasn't there before]. i always wondered how poison ivy got its start. neighbor, huh? you are a good garden-tender and the poem wasn't bad either. you attribute at least some weirdness-of-your-poem(s) to mental illness. is this one of them? except tor the reference to black 'sunshine' [i'm assuming a black sun gives off black rays of light; dangerous to assume sometimes, i'm told] i thought the poem was simply creative/clever. WELL, maybe the crumpled bitter heart could be a clue to mental illness? if so, maybe some of my ex-wives suffered that kind. [that was an attempt at 'sick'? humor; i'm bad! ] i think i'll add this to MyPoemList for posterity, whatever that means. :) bri
