This is so cleverly crafted!
I love the way you've spun these words together
to create a myriad of magic!
Great write...

It's an understatement to say you're a natural
Your Poems unite the reader with the mind set you were in
This particular write,is very abstract, yet deeply cohesive

I've been going through your poems out of curiosity, and think this poem is exemplary of what I'm going to say.

You have a marvel of a knack for metaphor, for juxtaposed words and images that become striking, vivid. And from the immense volume of your posts, it looks like that wellspring isn't going to dry anytime soon. That is your talent.

As I read more and more of your poems, however, I began to notice that understanding them was difficult; so much as omitted, from punctuation to prepositions to articles, to subjects, to predicates, that each poem read like a run-on haiku. I struggled to grasp your intended meaning, and there's some merit in considering the balance between ambiguity of language and length.

I have to ask you, are these stream-of-consciousness chains of words as they come to you? Or are you trying to piece together an experience through a myriad of words? Because as much as I enjoy a good metaphor, I don't want to read your poems and mistakenly think they're to be read at face value, like admiring graffiti from your seat on the bus, if they're meant to be more.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
