Sonnet

PLEA BITE
The plea condensed into a form absconds
Tough kisses cool that bite instead of soothe
And water lilies more appropriate for ponds
The surface glistens sparkling as it moves
A blue lit cloud my thought invoke, surround,
Is ruining dead religion such a sin
Surprising myth an open door propound
Belief began inside a seed within.
Take red ripe bite into an apple hot
And softly hug your dreams but don't bestow
Before consider what you have begot
The frog, warts and all, we cut long ago.
Then say enough begin wih sharpened tools
Important thoughts not need observe just rules.

ON WITH THE STORY
John Barth gets mixed reviews on Amazon from Publisher's Weekly  for this collection of stories.
Have not read. However, consensus seems to support that whether or not this is his best work, Barth is a clever boy.

SCAR TISSUE
for which Michael Ignatieff was short listed for the Booker Prize in 1993, comes highly regarded and covers  a lot of ground according to this list of tags from the NYU LitMed database. Clicking on any link should pull up the titles in their collection that have been tagged the same.

INTER ICE AGE 4
Kobo Abe's near-future scifi looks as if it would hit my cyberpunk sweet spot. Look forward to reading this one.
