    is that what they call it? the MOMA?

    is it like Moe Mah, or Ma Ma?

    I honestly didn't know what you were talking about in the title line.


    Anyway... save that line, I'm with ETE, the piece is gorgeous. Thanks so much :)


    Moe Mah.

    i have to admit when i read that line, i sighed. i love that line. and your right ms.haiku, for a woman to say that is cool. to feel secure enough with her lover to say those words is a turn on in itself.

    She actually said that to me...I didn't make the line up.

    I know to everyone else that line sounds romantic, but to me I can't get the idea out of my head that an art work in a museum would feel so lonely and desperate to be touched that to say you want to be touched like something in the MOMA sounds like you haven't been touched in so long and you need it.

    That is an astute observation. I couldn't agree more.

    Fair enough, but it doesn't matter how the line effects you, what matters is how it effects the poem. I've written entire poems to later throw everything out but a single line or phrase, and I've written poems around entire phrases only to find out it doesn't fit in the poem anymore.

    Just be on the lookout, sometimes a brilliant line can be your worst enemy.

    If you keep writing, I might just visit more often, so thanks for that.

    How can it not matter how much a line effects the author?

    The author's irrelevant.
