- "interesting... all the birthing and fresh life... the suckling had me thinking nursing, too... giving new perspective 'exiting the whirlpool' I guess...and then I couldn't help think psychologically about it... damn Freud! haha... somethings once done, will never be undone. thanks for the thoughtful words... you never disappoint."

- "You've made me rethink using the word suckle in any other context except maternally though. Those of us who are kid-free by choice don't automatically think of that but we are the minority so.... "

- "I'm always fascinated by what readers get from poems I write. I like it when they see things in there I wasn't thinking of, but I LOVE it when folks get it! You can intimate things in between the words sometimes that a reader can sense. It's awesome how multi-edged language is! "

- "a real "bottler" of a poem ... there is a hopeful 'against all odds' feeling to this piece...very well done..."

- "Not sure if this fine piece is written from a mother's point of view, or pehaps the child's? Works either way for me, and thanks Cadymae."

- "Wittgenstein!?!? Qapla Dybbuk! My school days studying philosophy under the oak trees on Wellesley's campus came back full force as I read that. I'll go find my old textbooks and study up. I need to revisit him with my adult mind anyway... Dunno if dybbukim do shalom on shabbatim but if so... I wish you peace."

- "oh and there's a good book by Wittgenstein.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractatus_Logico-Philosophicus that is almost zen like in its approach to questions just of this sort... the extent of solitude... oddly enough, language is often argued as the one means by which we can assure ourselves we are not alone... haha, comical sometimes... but that's found in his other work, Philosophical Investigations.... cheerio... "

- "reminds me of a quote from Wells on my profile... these media, mediation, these futile attempts at being revealed, and discovering beyond the symbolic... but cannot we share our solitude, is there no ally awaiting such understanding..... in silent touch... a knowing with eyes closed... stilling but far from motionless... nice quotation. thanks, always a pleasure to read your words."

- "I've been thinking about this comment all morning long and finally decided that all of my poems are based on my reactions to outside events, be they words I read or hear or events I watch happening. I might have some original conclusions about things but I certainly do not think I have a lock on all ways of seeing. Since I was going to use his name in my poem, and I didn't think his name would be too familiar to many US readers, I thought I'd include the quote I was agreeing with, to give my readers and my poem some bearings."

- "Very nice, but I must say I myself would not create a poem from a quote... lol Unless it was my own clever quote. Very nice though."

- "...this is very attractive & gentle, causes me to drift along with the poem, like Huck Finn on a raft... "

- "The writer might seem alone, stranded in futility, when his (her) message is not being grasped, & may ask: why is the reader so dull? the reader might ask: why can't you say simply, what you are trying to say? the answer to that is, 1st & foremost, it must be poetry. "

- "Where are the comments? Missed this the other day. The sophists will have their way and the world will go stupid, but not you, nicely done!"

- "Mite not be anything sweet inside that one. Just a picture of an old spent lady committing suicide by pills to complement my piece on an old spent man killing himself with a gun. "Nothing to see here. Move along... " Even a sad life deserves a witness at its end."

- "...takes some slicing thru the rind to get to the sweet fruit of this. I'm not quite there yet...the '1000-yard stare' stanza is intriguing..."

- "I liked your ramblings. I've been staring at the screen wondering why I'm doing that 3 lines then 1 then 3 again thing. Every now and again the words or message seems to want that shape. but I don't think about that when I write. I just write. I think all the rest of the time. :)"
