 Matthew James Current 2006-01-13 . chapter 1Superb work. I love it when poems do more than tell a story. This piece says something, with force but not forcefully. I especially like the line "Star-swept periwinkle crumpled into a desperate spray of cerulean." It's nice that you have such a flexible vocabulary and are able to use it so effectively. Yet you don't drown the piece in large words and abstractions. This is definitely one of the better poems I have seen in a while! I must say I am certainly pleased to meet another poet who I have already grown to respect greatly. And so young as well! |
