I love the words hidden within words, like calaminty and increeping vaders. And your poem explains EXACTLY why I don't grow mint anymore!

I think this is my favorite of our lot, even though cummings-like is not necessarily a quality of my favorite poems. But yours is so accessible and so dang much fun--that wordplay is magic.laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824466663015731028.post-19039440979429426762015-10-03T06:29:41.334-04:002015-10-03T06:29:41.334-04:00I'm sorry to be repetitive, but oh, MY!

It's perfect how you warned the reader in the beginning. We thought we were being warned about the planting of mint, but we were also being warned that our brains would be tangled as well!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824466663015731028.post-36678064238263369422015-10-02T19:17:28.052-04:002015-10-02T19:17:28.052-04:00Minty fresh and full of cummins-like wordplay, as ...Minty fresh and full of cummins-like wordplay, as I mentioned earlier.

I like your wordplay and the idea of a mint edition, a mint condition, and no leaf left unturned... or unexplored. This poem has a freshness and a crispness to its, um, bite. ;)tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
