Well there you go- other writers are coveting your genius! I'm in love with this piece. Excellent metaphors create beautiful imagery. Nice work.
Wow...I just got chills after reading that! Your such a good writer! My hands down favorite line: it was another lovestruck august after another doubtful july my sleep heavy with honey dipped dreams the moon bigger with every balmy sigh keep up the good work! I really wish I had written this!
I really like this poem, despite my former comments on it. I especially love the line We danced in blackberry water that mirrored the stars. Excellent imagery. It really appeals to me, I love how you used blackberry to describe dark waters, or at least 'tis what I gathered from it. I also enjoyed the morning weeping with quiet rains. It is truly amazing what words can do to us. To me it portrays a grey misty beautiful morning, one that appeals to my somber personality. I love it! Great job, you are truly and excellent poet! Keep it up.
