I also like the brevity of your work. It paradoxically lends the poetry a depth that larger poems by others may lack. <BR/><BR/>Yet I remain curious as to what a larger poem by you may be like. I think Scott mentioned that a little while back. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, hope you have recovered well and are having a good holiday season. All the best,<BR/><BR/>ArioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008023414691836972.post-46576335936675722262007-12-21T05:55:00.000-05:002007-12-21T05:55:00.000-05:00Such an image of cool detachment.

I love the way you get to the heart of the matter, Brian..:) Kudos, and a cartwheel!<BR/><BR/><BR/>janetleighAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008023414691836972.post-29364303913367229122007-12-13T19:23:00.000-05:002007-12-13T19:23:00.000-05:00It really hit me!

I think it's something that all writers struggle with at times, including myself. I try to stick to describing the things around me. It seems also in your writing that you write a lot about your own observations and experiencesBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289013669698459078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008023414691836972.post-37155475541655231162007-12-13T07:10:00.000-05:002007-12-13T07:10:00.000-05:00So forlorn.

What I also always like in your work is that you never resort to cliché - your choice of words - as is evident here - always remains new. Quite a feat.nesciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12097504855386214012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008023414691836972.post-53817388540847431242007-12-13T01:39:00.000-05:002007-12-13T01:39:00.000-05:00There is a coldness in this poem.
