    I think Juicy Fruit, which is a delicious sweet gum that my mom, who gardens chews, but I really really like ISN's reference to Gaugin (who my mom also loves) -- so I'm thinking:

    Gaugin's Juicy Fruit

    White Washed

    or White Wash

    little bit of a double meaning, it's got an obvious connection in her washing the clothes, it brings in the ivory throat, and the seconday meaning of covering up something of distinction and beauty with nothingness - the erasure before rebirth - but realistically you'd probably need another stanza for it to really fit - I feel like we're missing something before this poem starts though, it feels like coming in to the middle of a story

    it does really come in in the middle of something, but I like that. I like the reader to occasionally need to fill in blanks.

    Nonetheless, your title suggestion is a great one. Thanks for putting so much thought into it!

  • What does she grow in her garden? Vegatables? Flowers? You could title it something she grows, is "Tomatoes" or "Hyacinth"
  • grooveamaticgrooveamatic Posts: 1,374
    "Hyacinth"


    OK, the great ideas need to stop now....I've GOT TOO MANY from you damned smart people...


    shiftless....I love it.

    A title just completely eludes me. I thought you guys might be able to help.

    Just one restriction: I don't want the words "ivory throat" on the title.

    Any help will be appreciated!





    I know of another woman
    With an ivory throat
    Who washes clothes by hand
    With Lava soap
    And wakes each day
    With flowers in her hair;
    She doesn't like bees
    (although she's never been stung)
    This woman with the ivory throat.

    When she plants a garden
    (which she does, she does)
    Her plants grow plump
    And juicy inside
    And you can hear them sigh
    As she walks by,
    Her gardening-skirt
    Rippling with her thighs.

    love the juicy plants in the garden

    I suggest the title

    "The Unkonwing Temptress"

    as if i really knew what you meant,
    however,
    i have known a temptress or two or three or .. ha!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
  • grooveamaticgrooveamatic Posts: 1,374
    Unkonwing? :)


    It's a good one Olderman, but I've just decided on Nast's suggestion (see post #41) thanks for reading it though!

    awesome choice.
    I was gonna suggest "ripe dream"
    because shes a fantasy (or dream) and "ripe" because of the sexuality that she exudes (even while gardening (: )

    it's a good suggestion....as a matter of fact, it's a lot like "Strawberry Tea", when you think about it....so there must be something to both of them!

    Thanx! Strawberry tea is the best choice.....
    It reminded me of one of my pieces
    that I titled " Wild strawberries "
