*Tulipp* Greetings, mike-dk! I am reviewing this piece because I discovered it on Read & Review and I immediately was drawn to it. *Smile*

*Quill* First of all, my reviews are intended to be helpful and encouraging, not hurtful in any way. Use what you feel works for you, and leave the rest.

*Tulipo* The Positives/What I Liked

         *Bulletv* Wow. I'm so impressed with this poem. What a great description on how a speed reader should slow down when reading a poem. Put the brakes on, as you say.

         *Bulletg* Your second stanza is amazing! You compare speed-reading novels to devouring fast food burgers. But it's those last two lines that are my favorites. You must sip a poem like a twenty year old scotch. Wow.


*Tulipo* Suggestions/Comments to Consider

         Personally, I feel a poem can get away with just about anything. I happen to like the consistency of no punctuation at the end of each line. There's a freedom while reading it as such. IF you choose, twenty year old could be twenty-year-old, though it's not necessary. I just thought I'd mention it. I have a feeling you are already aware of this and have chosen not to use any punctuation at all. *Wink*


*Tulipo* Final Thoughts

         I love this piece! You are obviously a wonderful poet.

         By the way, WELCOME TO WRITING.COM!!! I noticed that you became a member less than a month ago. I hope you are enjoying yourself. *Smile* If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.


Have a great day and...*Quill*
