- "This was insanely on point. I agree, I want more, but the finality of it is what gave it sauciness to the sadness. Bravo."

- "The tone here is very interesting. It's cold- almost detached. Like you can see into the image and feel the leftover emotion, but the scars are old. Lovely piece."

- "Leaving me with a stark impression and lonely, empty feeling. Her call -like a chilling, flat line, dial tone- zero.... There seems nothing lonelier or colder. What an amazing piece of work. "

- "But, that stanza is literally what the first line says it is. It's not just tugging on a heart string, it's shoving your fist in there and wiggling your fingers around. Such a simple concept to portray such a deep longing and melancholy. The distress that stanza causes me is palpable."

- "Immaculate. The third stanza is my favourite and it reads in my mind, I think, just as it would sound. You have always had the gift of imagery without being wordy and being able to set a tone with that imagery. I picture the picture in your mind and it's probably not the same as yours, but it all feels real when I'm there. That's what makes your poetry and this, especially, reach into the chest and cradle the heart snugly, like a corset, it's not suffocating but it's just a tad too tight for comfort. "

- "I like the way this blends something of modernity, something of technology into a romantic setting, the first 3 stanzas are well rhymed but more importantly, they present imagery that while known, is disrupted by the technology. I think it mimics it's own tone, the dialtone and the sound these words create... the cardinal offers a stark contrast to the white of the snow... this blood red bird beneath with all of its associations and connotations... I'm not fond of the last line, it seems to break with the previous setting and offer a lens for reading what came before... too much guiding of interpretation and summation for me. Anyway, thanks for the words, well done *bows*"

- "I'm not sure what it is about this, but it makes me exceedingly and painfully sad. Maybe just hit a specific chord in me. Some forgotten association stirred in the back of my mind. This reads like wading through ice hardened snow and bleeding out into the white. Idk. It's hard to explain. But it hurt to read, so we'll done."
