    I enjoyed this poem. You keep it simple, but not every waking moment in our life needs to be needlessly and meticulously explicated. I think this poem is a good ...

  • Poetry » General, General Re: The Words I Do Not Say

    I think your general idea here is fantastic, but the poem leaves me wanting a bit more. More specifically, I think you can do more with the line "They pierce ...
