Review on "perfection for the picture":

I like this segment especially. It's very picturesque, contains tons of imagery. The lines "we grin and they reply/blink after blink/another family episode/in a sequence of smiles," makes me imagine the flashes of a camera, smiles snuck in between [whether intentional or not]. The "circus of expression" line is a memorable one. And on a last [but not least] note, my favorite stanza is the last, especially "maybe we could duck under the frame/and slip away and you can/finally kiss me candid." It's very reminiscent of Eireann Corrigan's manner of speech in "You Remind Me of You: A Poetry Memory."

Keep writing, love.

i cant write about others directly in the idea of writing it to them
i begin to write everything i hate about them
because love poetry isnt as interesting
or compelling

What an amazing image. It really is abstract, but yet I can see it perfectly. Really fantastic. Keep writing! :)

Ah, — the elemental force that we can't contain and lives beyond words. Nice job. m

Some thoughts for you:

so young you stepped out
to lands others fear tread, —
rainbow to dream worlds

&

that which frightens most
you fastened, — but hesitate,
about parent's love

that

green, broad Queen fig tree
giving every strength
to seed with love nearby earth

The last line of the Kisses I don't have is a real beaut. It brings together the whole poem for me. I loved it.

It feels as if life is being absorbed by stone ruins. Almost as if druid chanted whispers midst a circle of stones under a full moon floated through long eons to reach our expectant ears. m
