	How wonderful to have such a sharp, provocative tool for knowing yourself, for expressing your needs, for making a commitment to your desires. 1 year ago	View
	I know this guy!!! Although the smell makes me gag, I show him emotional neutrality in hopes of discouraging future behavior. 1 year ago	View
	The bonds between two people begin long before the physical act. I enjoyed the journey that this poem described. You have a wonderful sense of rhyme and cadence. I love the image: "Securely the roots surround the core, shattering masonry to build rapport..." more » 1 year ago	View
	This poem is so powerful, both as a description and as a metaphor. Mother: a word that carries such depth, such emotion, such strength, and yet so many intimate and secret meanings for each of us. In the panic before death, you call for the doctor and the nurse to save you; do you call for your mother to hold your hand while you continue on your journey? more » 1 year ago	View
	I love how you describe how hope can live in the lowest moments of our souls. Your poem touches the intellect but then goes on to infiltrate emotion- that is its power. 1 year ago	View

	This poem breaks my heart - watching the battle with anorexia is horrific. I will join you in your wishes for a rebirthing, as sustenance somehow absorbs and saves. 1 year ago	View
	You have the courage to look in the mirror, and to return again and again. This maps your process of becoming "intimate' with your melancholy (not "intimidating" it - although this is a great Freudian slip - you are much too gentle to take that route...) more » 1 year ago	View
	Your poem is written well, great rhymes and flow. How brave of you to step out, to step toward, to step away. You already have it all- sometimes it hurts. 1 year ago	View

	I love the flow of this poem and the way you present your optimism in the last lines. Support gives us strength and hope. 1 year ago	View
	You create an atmosphere of opposites, of paradox, which is how life seems to present itself. You ask essential questions. Your poem is painful yet beautifully written. Thanks for sharing. 1 year ago	View
	The metaphor of "ancient lace" stays with me. It is an image that has a vivid past, a sad present, and an inevitable future, all competing for attention even as I finish reading your poem and go into my day. It has made its impression, a true poet's work. more » 1 year ago	View
	Your images are painful; my knees hurt from the burn, I particularly love this line: "stuffing hot coals in my mouth to feel the burn of your sadness." This is a wonderful poem, a lesson well won, congratulations! more » 1 year ago	View

	Powerful. You draw us into this dream-like cascade of words, you are an excellent painter, your images are clear and emotional. They leave me hoping for the best. 1 year ago	View
	I love this playing with words. Change a letter, new vision, same rhyme. This poem's created concepts remind me that we give the meaning and the power. 1 year ago	View
	We think our interactions and our influences are clear. But. Sometimes we don't know what we are dealing with. 1 year ago	View
