Sylvia,
When i said it sounded prissy, the beginning makes you think its gonna be all nicee and fluffyyy and prettyyyy sounding the rest of the time. Then reading further past the beginning imagery it gets into the meaning of it. It's not that i didn't understand the poem- i'm good at looking through other meanings, but that the beginning was a turn-off for....my poetic style.
Best Wishes
