oh my God! I don't even know what to say. Thank you so much for reading my poem, let alone writing such kind things, and even adding the notes you took of what you thought of it! I'm completely dumbfounded. You hit the nail right on the head. I've struggled with depression most of my life, and I wanted to write a haiku kind of going along with that. I literally felt so giddy reading your comments, because I truly felt as though I was a real poet, reading your analysis. Not even to mention just the poetry you entwine into your normal writing?? Like?? You somehow managed to turn a compliment into a fun to read, frankly quite beautiful, everyday work of art. I'm astonished that I was even noticed by such amazing poets as you and Je, and I appreciate so greatly the fact that you took the time to respond to and analize my poem. I knew that my poem, being short, wouldn't catch too much attention, but wow! Thank you so much to you and Je for proving me wrong :-) more »

Thank you so much. The positive feedback really means so much to me, and the use of "actually good" both cracked me up, and made me feel like I was on top of the world. I took the liberty of checking out your profile, and seeing such a nice compliment coming from such a beautiful poet made it mean all that much more. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to comment on my silly little poem :-) more »

I really like this poem, I think mostly because how it speaks to me and my own feelings and views. It's simple, but says a lot, and that's something I love in poetry
