- "The thinking man's poem; a pleasure to ponder OT. It seemed to take a deeper level with the "scale to scale" portion of the first stanza. "The blind can see in dreams" - wondering if it might be so, even for the never-sighted? The never -ending duel from childhood; of heart and mind for our tarnished souls. Hardened by time and dulled by pharmacopoeia in the personification of a needy bug. Cheers my friend! - Dan "

- "You really do have a style all of your own. Something about the line "I'd love you like a junkie, but the captain is on his nurse's knee" really speaks to me. Well written."

- "I really would like to see more of your old writings, they reflect your oh so beautiful mind well. I really like the metaphorical penguin as a representation of being stuck in a figurative rut. Reb:)."

- "An extended metaphor maybe on the old adage about "He who hesitates..." or "Paralysis by analysis".
We grow overly cautious and cling to things lost forever, that foreshadow a bleak future. Life is short OT - cheers! - Dan"

- "Interesting joy ride! I like this one very much, it had the sense of a wise, experienced, humorous soul speaking in slightly coded language...self-possessed enough to care less whether the meaning was grasped or not by others. Very enjoyable read! Ciao, T/S"

- "Yet again a wonderful poem. I keep rereading it and I uncover more and more in the narrative. You have so much to say and such a unique way of saying it. The sporadic rhyming, including the occasional internal rhyme, gives this piece a rhythm and lyrical flavor, making it surprisingly easy to read. The story told is also excellent. I believe it is about the speaker's struggle with deciding whether or not to pursue a woman that probably isn't good for them. I'm still finding pieces to the puzzle every time I read it, though. Again, excellent job my friend. 10/10"
