- "To be the tenderness of one's brutality, now that is truly insightful, sounds like you are indeed "the better half" (but then many probably think the same thing too) - cheers!"

- "wonderful pinings, "the possibility of your sleepless night, opening somewhere" such a creative expression of longings... and the turning of the 'I am' at the end... to something less abstract, to the tangible missing... to the knowing of the absence intimately... much enjoyed the desperation infused to the genre... you give voice to my own absence. thank you."

- "I can see the message and what you're trying to say with this, but I don't like the poem in itself at all. It's hard to find it compelling and attractive to read; but that's just me of course."

- "with your smile like a snowfall,
and the moon in your eyes,
come as you are
or come in disguise
for you know I will know you
whatever you wear
by the stain on your iris
by the scent of your hair.
Those lines are so perfect, this is a beautiful poem."

- "Always a pleasure reading your easy flowing written voice; it's like coming back to a confidante or an old friend, pardon the 'old' ;) "around a prick" made me chuckle... "by what you've got there on the side" such a great colloquial tone, truly alive with personality, while this analogy works well for the 'twenties', I think it can be more broadly related to time itself... maybe Faust ruing that deal. nicely composed and a fun treat to read, thank you, ms gypsy, for sharing your words and developing a delightful metaphor."

- "a head chef told me once to insert the skewer , hold it there for 10 seconds then remove it and place it on your tongue...if it's hot, it's ready ... not sure if that works for you :P ... brilliant analogy here...don't lament the loss...it's ok to not be ready yet , hell I don't even know what I want to be when I grow up ... thanks for posting...one of the most refreshing things I have read for a while :)"

- "Another stunning piece! I absolutely love the the 5th verse. I read it over several times to fully absorb its subtly and brilliance.
I am doubly humbled by your praise for my pic. Because your poem is truly amazing and I think that you are one the best photographers I have ever been exposed to."

- "That is a stunning photograph, even if enhanced a bit for clarity or whatever.... I love the idea of drunken gods..... the bonfire in the sky... I wonder if that is what's waiting behind the black velvet.. politeness is an insult... love the contradiction, reminiscent of a Derridean deconstruction of the ethical, maybe... the daylight glazed eyes.... will they in all their sulkiness see this raging fire beyond the veil... the 7th... hehe, my favorite digit.... thank you for this introspective expose and picture of the heavens...

- "the flow of the poem and the delivery behind it were just a sweet rush in the veins of being; brilliant and tantalising; the poem was a striptease of language all its own....wonderfully evocative and tempting...the last line is like having a little eyehole to peep thru...cheeky saucy fun....wicked and wild!"

- "I like this...cool pic. The poem is even better..."morning slammed a bright blue boudoir door, all pretty priggishness" ooh I couldn't say it better. Nice, strong language...."
