- "Thank you so much! I'm happy that you enjoyed it. I'm actually surprised that it was "poem of the day" material. It was a poem I really didn't put any thought into. I sort of wrote it on autopilot. ^_^"

- "Ha, thanks Rebs! I've been a little busy lately, and only just noticed. I'm really humbled by the fact that I got a poem of the day. Poetry had always been a hobby and a form of personal self expression for me. It's never something that I shared, and to find out that other people can enjoy my work is truly a joy."

- "Honestly Rebs I'm quite flattered that a writer as excellent as you are would be a fan of mine. I don't even really consider myself to be much of a poet. And that's honestly not me fishing for compliments, it's just a statement of fact. I see all these other poets who write such powerful work, and I'm truly in awe. I would be lucky to snag poem of the day here on Dark Poetry, not to mention the wonderful poets on other websites. I'm just happy to be included. "

- "Thank you! I've always had a pretty active imagination, and when I was a kid, some of the things I was afraid of were pretty weird. As I grew up I was able to wrangle it and get it under control, but not before my fear really hijacked my life for a while. My fears are fairly mundane now, but there's always that little nugget of raw terror in the back of my mind. Lurking. "

- "Thanks Worm! Yeah, I suppose it could be considered a flaw of sorts, but sometimes you have to pay close attention to my work. There are definitely some that I intend to be read quickly, but other times if you slow down, you'll catch the full effect. I suppose I should work on my style to make it more overt as to how the poem is meant to be read, but I feel as though that would be disingenuious somehow."

- "Thanks man, I liked the sound of it, and it's really a representation of how out of control fear can solidify and take on a life of its own if you don't check it first. I was afraid of everything as a kid, and it seemed like every shadow was a boogeyman ready to gobble me up. A couple mental breakdowns later I learned that some fear is necessary for survival, but if you leave it alone and don't take control of it, you'll live your life in service to that fear."

- "Lol, yeah, maybe not my most inspired metaphor, but I've most certainly written worse. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the flow, and that it works. I'll be more than happy to stick around, as I'm always glad to have a community of people that enjoy to write and read poetry. Especially dark poetry. While I do enjoy the odd uplifting poem, I find dark poetry to be more raw and genuine. It comes from a more primal part of the soul that happy thoughts dare not tread in. "

- "Thank you, Drea! The majority of my poems are written in about three minutes or less when I have a sudden flash of inspiration, and I typically decide not to do any editing or make any changes. I find that I write best in this sort of spontaneous form, with no planning involved, so I'm glad to hear that others can enjoy it this way."

- "Thank you so much Rebs! I've always found understanding to be the highest compliment someone can pay to my work. I'm a huge fan of your work already, so your comment really means a lot. Thank you. :3"

- "Thanks Worm! Your assesment is spot on! I've been writing in general since I was five. Obviously my writing style has evolved since then, but I had a few poems featured in the yearbook when I was in 1st grade and have enjoyed writing ever since. I sincerely appreciate your comment!"
