    I read a poem at the open mic recently at the Nightingale Lounge in New York City that I announced was incomprehensible but at least it was mellifluous. Only as I started reading it turned out not to be so mellifluous. So I started conducting in curvy wavy melliflous movements with my free right arm. How's that for improvising! (From no-account Robert Mueller.)

    Hi Robert,
    Your reading sounds like fun.

    Here's a stanza from the middle of my poem for Kenward Elmslie (when he was in Sydney a few years ago) called 'Rainy Day in May'

    & the rain fell down,
    too wet, too sombre & grey,
    all afternoon
    but mellifluous tenor,
    you sang and read,
    a Babe Rainbow
    brightening the place up,
    just like (we imagine) at
    Touché’s Salon -
    all those synaesthetic pleasures
    on,
    as it turned out to be,
    your saddest anniversary

    Pam

    p.s.
    Of course the lineation doesn't hold here in bloggo message land - the poem actually floats eccentrically on the page

    The lines flow like honey, but, as you suggest, they might flow even better if they floated eccentrically like bees. (The all-nameable again.)
