"Crow Jane . . . Crow, Crow Jane . . . Please tell me you've heard this song by Nick Cave. And if you have not, you must. You'll like it :)"

"I love this one. It's so incredibly true. Especially in our time of Picasa linking to GoogleEarth, and you can basically see the entire world without leaving your apartment or even putting on pants. These days, I think I too am more likely to be surprised by a weed than by a famous landmark. This might explain why most of my trip photography ends up being of random doorknobs."

"I read and re-read your poems quite frequently (whenever I get back to DP after an absence), but I almost never leave a comment. Because . . . what is there to say? You are one of the few poets (on DP and generally) whose work I can just get lost in. I never feel the need to find a bit that sticks out, because it's all so integral. Just wanted to say, thanks for being around."

"So you're alive too! :) This was a lovely treat tonight. Something about the way you write, whatever you write . . . of all the things I've changed my mind about over the years, your poetry is an unchanging source of pleasure. It's almost a litmus test of how human I remain - will it still move me? - and lo, I'm still human. Thanks for that :)"

"I really like the ambiguity of the last line. (At least, I read ambiguity there :)"

"I love a good rhymed poem, and I really liked this one. However, since I really do feel like this has great potential (I don't comment where I see none), I have to pass on the advice of Steve Kowit (poet/workshopper) - awkward/archaic phrasing for the sake of a rhyme is rarely worth it. I could pinpoint the particular instances, but I already wonder if I've gone too far in my honesty :) I do hope you understand the spirit in which this comment is given - I think you have a pretty good beginning here, and it's great to see an intelligent rhyming poem here :) "

"What a vivid portrait, and what a wonderfully restrained piece of poetry - all the more touching for not lapsing into pathos. Great piece."

"If you have to ask . . . ;) Just kidding; thanks a lot for commenting :)"

"This is quite good. Quirky and cool, subtly appealing as a cocked eyebrow. Never lapses into pathos or self-aggrandizement, either, which is great. Love the last line. "

"Don't be sorry at all, it was intended to be somewhat humorous. Glad you responded that way and thank you :)"
