Commentary
Today’s submission for Landon Acknowledge Me Poetry Month comes from the Queen of Fireball, Mother of Lens, Addict of Flamin’ Hots, Reluctant Frito Glutton, Dodger of Marshmallows, Member of Los Conejito’s Banditos, Slayer of Hamsters, Robber (Liberator?) of Cats, and Shameless exhibitor of chocolate stained sweatshirts – Kaila.
But for the duration of this blog, she will simply be known as Dunderfluffen. Thank you #Dunderfluffen.
Footnotes
1.) This is an interesting question, and one that has puzzled experts for the better part of a decade. What is the driver behind Landon’s fear? This paranoia? This inherent streak of mistrust and suspicion running through his veins? Is it because, in this fast-paced and technological world, his hometown just recently received penicillin and the Model T? Is it because I get in early every morning to move his stuff around and occasionally steal loose items, and while he knows something is wrong, he just can’t quite put his finger on it? This remains unsolved, and the research/petty theft will continue.
2.) Some speculate that this final stanza was never actually part of the original poem and was in fact, simply self-deprecating commentary added to the end of the original submission. While misspellings and a lack of capitalization might lend credence to this belief, this is actually a commonly used poetic device on the part of the author, used prolifically in poems, literature, and emails. For further evidence, see Kaila’s “Collective Work of Assorted Text Messages”.
