A message and new poem from Ruth

I wanted to ask if there's any way new posts, including comments, can be flagged.  I am trying to post only one new piece a week, but as I work on some of the older ones, I am trying to keep most of my changes in the comments.  Now that we're getting so many posts, it's hard to figure out when something has a new comment without looking at each post and their comments.  I don't want to have to make a new post every time I try a little change in an older poem I'm working on.

I have some new comments on some of my older poems and intend to add more.  What to do?

Now, here is my new poem for the week--one I referred to, in one of those comments I mentioned above, as weird.  I'd like to know if it's comprehensible and interesting enough to others for me to pursue:


     The Scientist on the Hill, a Non-Love Poem


I drape a sweet scented sheet
on the line, and a beetle,
the same iridescent black and gravid shape
as my husband's VW, flops at the top
of the white percale border, then descends
in silence toward the ground,

     like John's Bug, engine unfired, rolls
     down the lab's steep-streeted hill
     to our house.  Smug with his success
     to save a few ounces of gas,
     with his strategic knack
     for coordination with traffic,
     John treats himself to a splash
     of good country red from France
     to complement the earthy chicken chasseur 
     he taught me to prepare,
     before he drops to my limbs,
     slides down my skin,
     his heart not sparking hot enough to kindle
     my body nor warm the cool linen.

When the scarab reaches the point
where the fabric ends, it scarcely hesitates,
then hastens out of my story
into the unknown world

     like John and his Beetle,
     leaving me with a recipe
     for fowl and a squeamishness
     about my sheets.
