- "You have a really cool way of describing things, though it seems a little on repeat with this poem. It's a very good style, nonetheless. I can't get over "sky-blue sky", though. Talk about redundant XD"

- ""and her blonde hair gently teased falls down,
across her broad, uniformed shoulders...like jellyfish tendrils freely falling and floating
in the warm saltwaters of an evening, summer tide..." Wonderful imagery! I love the how the piece moves from the ancient to the modern and brings signficance to the seemingly mundane. All of us are part of a cycle...the formation of lakes...the harvest of apples...the fascination at the way a woman's hair falls across her shoulders... This cycle precedes us, will exist after we are gone, and yet our individual experience is unique and wonderful and will never be experienced exactly the way we do again. Great piece! Ciao, T/S"

- "Wonderful imagery in this one, such as in the lines "a patient earth reaches up to embrace and take them back in
her spent and wayward children". I could see the cycle of rain and evaporation through this one. Another lovely work, my friend! Ciao, T/S"

- "no. But ironically, I have done writing in finance and in software specifications and user manuals. I think that special degree of tedium drove me 180 degrees to the opposite end of the spectrum.... Thanks for the kind words. Fodder for more poems!"

- "Another fantastic piece! I thought the "seven sixteening" phrase was a great way to demonstrate a focus away from the obvious and straightforward. The imagery of the dawn slapping awake her boys was excellent, as was the notion that "cold ground is aware of her advances, feigns distraction,
knows from experience how she gets, what she'll deduce." I also think the ending was perfect, the juxtaposition of the common vs the poetic view of the same scene, reminescent of the Life of Pi or the Big Fish. Really excellent work, man! Ciao, T/S"

- "What fine prose , juxtaposed as it is between the vast and the miniscule. You know how sometimes the sun hits a water droplet just right , turning it into a miniature crystal ball? Well , this led me there , condensing the world down to that beautiful nebulous sphere ..."

- "Your seemingly effortless , colourful narrative was a joy to read and life , as the 'patient sociopath' was just the perfect corker for this fine vintage. The voice in my head just said ' This was written by a mature , intelligent observer ' and I don't usually share what she says without editing it. :)"

- "You've gained my attention with your strong descriptive imagination. And I'm a real sucker for vivid detail, strategically placed wordage and structure. .tips hat."

- "In a single breath, a chain-of-events unravels, leaving objects and imagination to linger within the balance. Killer description throughout, and use of a strong narrative tone. .applauds. -Do write on"
