On The Back Of A Napkin Comments

I love this! Beautiful wording and so symbolic, keep writing!

I love it. It is me when I find something written by someone even it's only a doodle in notes.

The closing stanza of this poem really moved me: the tenderness the speaker displays is poignant but it's the closing two lines that cinch the deep emotion: the misfit / the jewel. To find something so valuable in something discarded is in itself a poetic act. Of course, the impact of the ending was prepared by the preceding lines, and I like the way you personified the napkin, especially its chocolate eyes. The word poet means maker and we do make our poems. But in this instance, you found something thrown away, just a piece of trash, and re-made it into something wonderful.

I read On the Back of a Napkin TWICE so I didn't miss one word! Your imagery is concise and on point... simply put, PROUNDLY beautiful! Very nice! I LOVE this piece!
