This is beautiful... Great use of words and format. I love 'Resistance' and 'The anguish of ourDistance' is just glorius. This rocks.

keep it up & write on,

The single word rhyme really sticks out in this poem. I like how you designed this one. The message and feelings are clear cut easily felt by the reader as well. So far, the poems I've read from you, I have enjoyed reading. I hope you continue to write.

beautiful.

Very well writen...my boyfriend is leaving soon as well, and I wrote a similar type poem, only mine was called cling. Either way, I love how this poem is set up, with the one word every three sentances...it's almost like a steady heartbeat. Lovely.

i love the format of this, the rhythm and style of this poem work really well. great job!

I found your poem very interesting. I see a bit of myself in your writing style. My only real griped about your poem is the layout...I think it detracted from the flow of your poem.

Wow, that poem is sad. Especially the last line. That one really struck me, for some reason. There's a real uncertainty to it-- like the person saying these words thinks they know everything they've said throughout the poem, but then it comes to the very end, and it's "we can only hope". We're not in control-- and I'm not sure what will happen. There's a vulnerability there. I like that, because sometimes we go through something and we become so sure we know everything there is to know about it- and then eventually we realize we're wrong, and we've really only scraped the surface of pain, love. Hope.

I hope you're doing ok.
