Re: Embers
This was good, great if it was your first poem. I liked the way you shied away from cliches without making it too obvious that that was what you were ...

Re: Window Washing
I liked the topic and I thought some of the phrases and images you used to describe it were good, but it was too wordy and didn't develop enough. Trying ...

Re: 2.19 a.m. Friday Morning

Re: Soda or Juice?
I'm a milk addict... literally... I recently realized that 910 of my daily calories come from milk (I drink about 7 cups of 2% a day) and have been working ...

Re: Glass Girl

Re: Another Valentine's Day

Re: For Me
Hmm. I'm not crazy about the message. And I really didn't like the second-to-last stanza, with all the questions in it. But the beginning was good, though I'm not sure ...
