- "at once a song and a dream... a trip into hades for the love of a lifetime, a dream to behold all eternity. The rhyme sings like a harp, and the words they seem to beckon into the beyond... a blending of love and death, of beauty and pain, of dream and song... *bows before muse of melodious myth* perfection."

- "This was a great write but I am sorry. This one struck me as a work laced with humor. The part about the oven made me laugh, maybe due to it being over the top. On a serious note though the message was clear and a very emotional one. Grabbing and twisting even, just also had either a deliberate or underlining sense of humor. Brilliant Write!"

- "This hits pretty close to home. Love is something poets often excel at to the point of failure. You were able to draw a smile out of me with this one -- while subtly requiring a deeper self-examination of my own emotional pathology."

- "So completely perfect, and solid. The rhyme was smooth and driving, and not sing-songy at all. "with your eyes full of acid and your mouth full of pearls," Wicked, sleek and sexy. This slays me."

- "perfect pink prick..I think I love that line the best..and with all the sophistication of imagery and perfect rhyme scheme of the rest, it's the crudeness of that little bit of alliteration that makes the point of this so precise and perfect..."

- "Oy...now that's horrible news. That kind of depression usually is genetic, but I'm sure who his mother and father were, rather than the dna they were made of, had something to do with it as well...really makes the poem hit that much harder...yow.. "

- "Reminds me of myself. I have an obsessive NEED to write about the one I love, and unless that person has at least an interest in poetry, It's never a good idea to share to much of that. I won't stick my head in an oven :) Might just push away or pull to hard. And then, when it's over I'll just write about you some more. Gah, what a world. Very solid. Very insightful. Wish I had more room to bookmark. Maybe later. Write on."

- "...impactful.....almost sarcastic, but not quite dripping. . . . but still, the pseudo.stereotype fits your description here to the letter [scarlet or not]. . .and i just heard plath's son hanged himself recently. makes one wonder. if he'd ever been loved......like this, was this, like his mother, like his father. . .. .

- "Incredible. I won't even touch a pack of cigarettes, can't stand looking at a used one (some weird psychological thing), but this is beautiful. I'm mystified. Wow."

- "I enjoyed the way everything was laid out and it all came together in the end. A positive overtone, after all is said and done. +tpu

- "I truly love all of your writing. But this one stands out; really stands out. The phenomenal writing aside, this obviously sprang forth from a deep a real place. That is both philosophically insightful and emotionally honest. Now back to the phenomenal writing... "by the ghosts of trees that might have been" What can I say... One does not see a turn of phrase like that every day."

- "Wonderful exploration of the 'might have beens' - I especially loved the third stanza. "But if the birds get to them first,
I'll still find a trail
by the ghosts of trees that might have been"."

- "(They crumble blindly at my touch
but the perfume of their final breaths
still lays upon the pages). This is especially beautiful, really played on my mind. Lovely piece

- "very ethereal, a feeling of near miss and not there, a poem of lost identity or discovery, either way, cleverly simplistic; saying so much more than just the obvious, but always just in reach, touch. I really liked this where perhaps a couple of years ago I may have just glossed it oer without any real connection. A great vision and moment.."
