Great job. I found myself wondering where this poem was going, what the jester's secret and purpose was. There was no way i could have stopped reading this poem before it was finished. It ties together nicely in the end, and what a soul wrenching conclusion it was. It nearly brought tears to my eyes. Such an honest poem and well written. Thanks for sharing it.
Great story. It's a good take on the "don't judge a book by it's cover" idea. And I recognize some familiar names in that story so I know how personal it is to you. It's a well written piece and a good read.
Great poem. This one hit home for me, as I am a guitar player myself. You have managed to describe a musician's love for his art and instrument by telling what it, more or less, really is...a love affair. Great wriing. Keep it up, and thanks for sharing this piece with us all.
I like this. Kerouac is without a doubt my favorite writer and I enjoy seeing people experiment with the style of prose that he invented. I enjoyed reading this and hope that you will continue with this style of writing; even if it's not to become your primary style, at least to continue paying homage to it and enjoying how exorcising spontaneous prose writing can be.
Great writing. It's short, simple, yet your choice of words throws the whole piece into a train of thought and emotion that is much deeper than the words used to describe it. You've managed to not only create a good piece, but also a feeling and a state of being that is undeniably full of emotional angst. Well written!
I like this poem. It's spontaneous and full of the feeling of the emotional rollercoaster that is indicative of a new relationship. Your attention to details that would normally mean nothing on a social or emotional level perfectly illustrate the very idea of young love and I have really enjoyed reading it. Good job!
Good writing. This is an interesting piece. I like how it shows the changes that the passing of time brings forth and how it affects the way we think, feel, and perceive the people, ideas, and concepts around us. It's tinged with a certain regret and sadness, but at the same time shows signs of new strength found within a new stage in life. A very good read. Thanks for sharing it with us all.
This is a great piece. I agree with the idea that our own enlightenment should come from our unity and affection as a society rather than hate and bloodshed. Please keep sharing your thoughts!
This is a good piece. Sometimes the simplist things in life are the most worthwhile to write about. The only real suggestion I have to improve it is perhaps tightening some of the sentences and paragraphs a bit, so that it reads a little bit easier. All in all, a good read. Thanks for sharing.
Great poem. These days I find myself less of a religious person as I once was, yet I still enjoy anything well written and inspirational. This poem is one such piece. It is tightly constructed, the pace and direction of it twisting cleverly to show the true meaning of it all. Very good writing...keep it up!
Great poem. Paints a very good picture of the often misguiding concept of addiction. Very interesting view of the subject and very well displayed. I really liked reading this poem and would like to see more of the same kind of honesty.
I like this. Good idea, the way you compared writing with sewing in order to create something bigger and beautiful than the sum of it's parts. Short, to the point, yet more full of beauty than many poems 10 times longer. Well written.
Great writing. I always appreciate a good poem about the cleansing power of nature. It seems, in my opinion, that the relationship between mother nature and the human spirit is very close-knit, and your poem illustrated that wonderfully even within very few words. Keep up the great work!
I like this piece. It's very dark with a good choice of words to paint it's overall picture. It shows pain, confusion, and the shedding of one's own skin in the desire and hope to find the truth of their own humanity. Other than a couple of grammatical errors, the only suggestion I could make is maybe forming the piece into stanza form rather than paragraph form. That may be a beneficial approach to try out. It may even make a gothic style poem such as this one stand out a little more. An overall great poem.
Great poem. Wonderful use of words in order to paint a picture of reflecting on a memory. I could feel that the memory of her is a very powerful thing because in the end of the piece it was the only thing that remained...even more dominant than the darkness or the light. Great piece. Thanks for sharing it.
Beautiful! I love the feeling of solitude and loneliness that this piece conveys. I feel such a quiet and lonely feeling while reading this, and it's very powerful even within it's few short lines. Thank you for sharing this and keep up the great writing!
Great poem. I like it a lot. Good description of self evaluation and honesty. This piece puts it all out there, naked to the world with all imperfections laid out for the reader to see. I can offer no suggestions to make this poem better. It's already perfect. Great job!
Very interesting poem. I like it a lot because in many ways it's like some of the things i write. As i read it i felt like i was there in the scene of it all. You have done well at drawing the reader into the poem and i felt as if i were standing to the side of it all, watching it unfold. Awesome work.
Every now and then someone writes something so simple yet so full of life and insight that the reader can't help but fall in love with it. That, in my opinion, is the case with this piece. I loved everything about it. The yearning to rekindle memories of a simpler life and time and the persistence to be one with that feeling is wonderfully illustrated in your work and i applaud your talent.
Great writing. Very vivid descriptions of the people around and the relationship with Roxy. I could definately see the influence of both Kerouac and Thompson. Though the presence of their influences is there, you still put enough originality in the piece to make it your own. Keep up the good work!
Great poem. Very simple yet at the same time vividly descriptive. I especially like the fourth stanza...the feeling of loneliness is conveyed effectively and the reader can almost taste the wine and cigarette smoke. Well written. Thank you for sharing it with us!
