So many thanks, Dillip for your comments. And for all of your support and encouragement throughout the years!
Please write freely sans paying attention to punctuation marks or any inadvertent typos
Thank you, Dillip. That's not always been my style. I found the old style to be too constricting. Free verse works so very well for me. Especially with The Kerouac Project!
This Estable loves open criticism but forgets to provide constructive suggestions
Dillip, I'm always open to constructive criticism which encompasses both positive and negative. But when the critic is clearly not familiar with free verse, it's a little hard to swallow.
Thank you so very much, dear poets. Your very positive comments mean so very much to me because they validate The Kerouac Project! So many thanks to Rebecca, Varsha, LeeAnn and Rose Marie. And to Dillip who has included this poem in his favourites!
I see several things with this, but I will mention just two. The night being sinful? How so here? The zero punctuation make it hard to see how the lines should be read or organized.
With all due respect, you are being way too analytical, and thus, not fully appreciating the poem. Also, free verse poetry does not require punctuation. Look at some of Jack Kerouac's work! Thanks for your constructive criticism.
Another classic in the Kerouac series Bravo!
You've made my day, LeeAnn! THX so much!
