"wow." -- Jeanne.
"First off, welcome and nice piece of work. But (and there does seem to be a but), I think you need to think more about punctuation, which is very inconsistent, and could add so much more for the reader. Also, "unhurling" - should this be "unfurling"? And, "an architectures glass..." - what do you mean? Finally, a totally minor point, but it would LOOK better if you didn`t use all capitals... All that aside, this is refreshing and creative work and I like it." -- Peter Rivendell.
"I agree with Peter. This poem is good, but it shouldn't be in all caps" -- Steven.
"First, I agree about the caps thing...it would have a better feel to it if it were lowercase instead. As for the poem itself, I think it's quite good. I like the flow, I love the metaphors. It's nice to see something new, different and creative. More to come, I hope..." -- Michelle.
"Just read this again, and I still like it. Good to see that you`ve taken the feedback on board and made some changes... or do you disagree with what was said? After all, everyone liked the poem and could like it even more..." -- Peter Rivendell.
"I appreciate the advice, I really do. I will write, You will read and we'll see how the results turn out... ta:)" -- Buxton.
"I agree with the others that the caps are hard on the eyes and take away from the overall flow of the work. You should change "burnning" to "burning" though." -- R. Bennett Okerstrom.
"I haven't been on the site for awhile, but I noticed one of your titles and started perusing. This is the 4th I've read and the best one so far. You should really listen to the advice given above, they come from the best poets on this site. The changes would show a drastic improvement on flow, etc." -- Tessa.
"WOW! And I thought my first poem ever was good. It's crap compared to this. I'd like to know your thoughts though. My first poem is "Soft Touch and Tender Kisses". It's about my ex-boyfriend. First thing I ever wrote that was actually good in the poetry department. It was a semi finalist in a poetry contest but I didn't think it was that great. Lucy Midnight" -- Lucy , Beaver Dam, United States, Kentucky.
