I tried and tried with this one. It didn't come to me even after a couple of glasses of wine!
I saw that it was about a grasshopper and then that was all I got, so I ended up cheating and googling it! I don't think my brain liked the structure of the poem because even though I cheated, it still hasn't revealed itself to me.
Interesting though, thank you for the effort....
xxoo
Cahrollah - No worries. This poem has been discussed to death. In my opinion, I think it's the image or movement of a grasshopper cumming's was really trying to convey (see how the letters are discombobulated in the air until it comes to rest), rather than a meaning.
Blogger was being difficult and wouldn't allow me to post the poem as it was originally structured. It would've been much easier for you to decipher the words if it had..
I'm glad it piqued your interest.
kisses
