abuseShe is dropping,/like the rustling of silk/off an unknown shoulder,/a sound in the shape of someone's/tongue. - Totally love. Great images there.

I'm not so sure about the stanza after the above stanza, though. I think that's probably the weakest stanza in the piece, just because of the "falling in love" part. I saw that and was kinda like, no, not another one of those. But.

I also love the rhetorical question of "When you reminisce is it always about the past?" Great question.

All in all, though, great images, wonderful use of language, and I'm *favoriting*. Keep writing! :)

abuseSpeed isn't easy, and I am pleased to see that someone from the din has learned to blow that difficulty out of the water. I am interested in your work now, because it reminds me of mine, and that you also have words in this piece that are a favorite of mine. I hope that would be able to read some of mine...for I will now be reading alot of yours.

abuseTrue and honest personification seems to be ebbing from your poem. Especially, the line"..memory is willfully selective..." had be in absolute concurrence.

My observations:"Like a straightened spine""..cacophony of pearls around her neck"Are you using a Zen or phylosophical approach?...seems like it, as you have given silence a voice, rigidity; a whole new domain!

Je l'aime ici,

KP.S. And thanks for your review.

abuseintensely beautiful. i love the vocab in this. very advanced and adds to the style so when u read it, it comes out all posh. (j/k) anyway, i love the imagery this creates and its really well written. the ending bit is good tho altogether the poem is a little difficult to understand. otherwise, great job:-)
