"the Goddess in the garden":
Lovely splash of all that summer should be.

"What i remind myself at night":

Full of good things, a most compelling poem. My favourite couplet:

"The sun hides behind the ruffled clouds.
And mustard walls, penciled with industrial carpet."

Superb!

"What the sign said: Pennies are ok!":
their drug & eden (lost) -- Brilliant, but the poem had me as a fan long before that!

 "at night, unboxed":
I see this as a tender portrait of someone coping well with the rat race,

"Beneath the skin":
Beautifully handled. Exquisite.

"Gemini":
The third stanza is a real humdinger. Lights up the whole poem.

"Violet blooms":
Somewhat above the general run of such poems. Lovely thoughts and lines.

"A prelude":
Which leaves us all agog for the main event -- which is exactly what it should do.
~0~0~

"m(a)ystery of the woman":
Yes, witch to queen, a new plot so far as I'm concerned. Powerful in itself and powerfully portrayed here. Excellent.

"I do believe you have prompted me to visit the dentist for a much put-off job - and that's no small achievement, so congrats! "
