Spelling errors original to script
Consuming feelings of dread
engolf my passive death
they prepare
I watched them
Hurrily antisapating this gentic demise
though I know it's a part of them
But I only watch
watch as they build a life
for the future birth
They know what the season brings
we only sulk in it
they see far better than we
I only watch

Cool. I like the distinction made between watching and seeing. Thinking of the other distinctions...hearing/listening; touching/feeling; looking/seeing...
what would you oppose to ; smell/_________
taste/_________
??
You really want to play words games? ok...
smell...No way we can do the obvious of smelling, at least not in the simplest one word. Expansion is needed. That is if we are basing this on the poem I wrote 15 years ago.
This poem has acting see and passive watch. Smell would be the passive and I would use the word inhale as the active.
taste would also be my passive and sapidity or savor depending on how it was used for the active.
Now ask me this 15 years ago and I would have said smell/smelling, taste/tasting...sheesh.
Hmmmm. Good.
I like the savor opposed to taste...I sense a better word is still out there as an active to oppose to smell. I'll keep turning over rocks. Thanks for the assist.
This would go back to how I was using the words. If you could give me the topic, I might be able to come up with something oh so much better.
(by the bye, I miss this dialog with you. Nice to have you chatting with me again)
