Youre summary was bigger than the poem. Doesnt that say something? *raises a brow* (o)

Beautiful, I love the depth captured in such few words...My fave lines (hard to have these with such few words, but I will try not to say all of them!) "cobble together a patchwork existence" Great way of describing how people build themselves out of others...I love this! Great job! :)

Hm...interesting way to put it...this will have me thinking...

interesting, and kudos on the understandable and helpful summery...

i liked the crypticness, i like the descriptions, i think i only hvae a shallow gist of the what the poem is really saying, so ill hvae to ponder it somemore, but very good job,kudos.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you ...

... and I *really* like this; every single word was perfectly-chosen and placed, and the whole thing is perfectly sturctured. Damn. You've just squeezed a major issue into a tiny handful of words.

Totally excellent.

And I really need to clear out my fav's list so I can put you on it.

Another supremely enjoyable and quietly intense piece.

Yeah! I've never thought of it that way before (but then again, you can't say I think much at all .

whoa. cool stuff here! It makes me kinda glad that I can't just fit in whereever it is that I want to. It would be such a "patchwork existance" as you said.

keep writing on!

Now this was awesome. I loved the metaphor you used, and the way it was worded was just incredible. I couldn't have put it any better myself... brilliant job.

interesting . . . it did the same thing as your haiku 'so ironic' to my insides . . . it's very mystical and even supernatural, i'd say. i love the lines "you cobble together a/patchwork existence" there's a great sound to them (they almost bubble on your tongue) and the image i got from it was very cool. also i love the idea of fleshing out a shell, just for the contrast of hard shell vs. soft flesh and how they'd work together. great piece, chica. :)

awesome work. I like how you related it to a chameleon. So many people act like that.

Awesome work. Such a great metaphor.

Beautiful...I've felt like that many, many times, and you capture the emptiness of it so beautifully.

Awesome! I've never seen it described that way before... I like the way you used the words "patchwork existence*
