- "I wonder...is pillow talk something fluffy and unreal , that belongs to the night and to those moments , never transposing itself onto the harsh reality of the days...or is it the real deal , the unabashed truth , that withers in the sunshine... this poem's a cracker , you're superwoman , keeping time ..."

- "I doubt I can say anything that hasn't already been said... but even so, this piece was a powerful punch in the gut. It's not politically correct at all, which instantly creates a bit of fascination. The world seems to focus on "warm fuzzies" and just doesn't realize how the pokes and jabs help us become stronger. Parents face the toughest decisions in the world, and all of 'em screw up something at some point in time, if not everything. My own mother certainly never pulled any punches, and I *own* the world in which I walk, now, because I know the truth of things. As a father... well... I hope I'm doing right by my own children as well. Thanks for this write."

- "You do have a way with words, don't you. A subtle sort of screaming, a pleasant balanced duality. Many short statements that can be read on their own, but all integral parts leading up to the final insult. You manage this well, and I commend you on your marriage of skill and harsh truth. Not to mention that I just plain liked it too. You should write more, I would enjoy reading them. Much love

- ""She took my soul by the jugular,
turned my poetry upside down,
watched me claw for a defense,
and then she told me she loved me anyway.." Wow, those lines really hit home. This is a powerful piece with a lot of insight… Ciao, T/S"

- "someone caught the canary? Just putting the title to work, maybe... I like how something different is shown the door, just a smooch, a taste, a brush with the cape, and then it's back to mundane... perpetuating pillow speak... feather pillows, how they fill the mouth with words that never fly. packed or unpacked, it ticks on. much enjoyed the personification... the second level this spoke to me. *bows* thanks."

- "There are so many quote worthy lines in this piece, but I particularly liked the one "Just sit on this couch and evolve with me". I love the imagery and cool rhythm to your pieces. Ciao, T/S"

- ""thinking someone is meant to save you-
that your story only ends happily due to enforcement,
like you somehow deserve it this way" - great piece! This explains so many disfunctional relationships...I love the closing line, as I think it also hints at justification for carrying a torch not worth carrying. Great work! Ciao, T/S"

- "A wicked and brutal assault that taunts the readers psyche! I stand back to watch as your subject takes on an almost ghastly appearance.....hunched over and curved she leans against the bedroom door frothing with total resignation...almost prayer like....her head slightly bowed both her right eye and right cheek probing desperately a refuge from her torment...her mouth opens in a way that sickens me.... I could see the icy chill of cold dark death spill out from her to consume the room... Great write, remember I'm innocent "

- "A very interesting well thought out piece, great concept here as your phrasing are deep enough to close the gap between our words...well done poetry and I applaud you for that! thank you for sharing, all the best! AD..."

- "Oh I'm sorry.....I do understand one's work is not necessarily about them but merely comes through them....My comments were aimed @ the subject in the write,,,Again...I apologize"

- "Sitting reflectively within the waning light of this small empty room I need only to close my eyes to touch the true meaning of your words....... To all the tears or to all of which became forever lost in you, not realizing it was just your time running out of time......I raise my glass to celebrate your "Mouthful of Feathers",,,, "

- "You twisted twig. Your ability to manipulate me is remarkable. Much as the evolved must, and pillow talk suffers in comparison to this piece, I too would fancy a spell in your couch world and a mouth full of feathers. Wonderful."

- ""Stay the same,"
"Be yourself,"
"Change,"
Evolve.
This poem made me think of people wanting you to be how they want to see you. Be a hero to you first. Great write! "
