Really great!

In my head I see a Shel Silverstein-esque hand monster-thing after reading this. Seriously though, this was written like a true poet. Very symbolic. I like ;D

Thanks for the gracious review.
This is a fantastic, beautiful poem. Your descriptions of the child are brilliant. I like this much.

Very nice. Very very nice. I really like the style; it's like the writing in "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger, one of my absolute favorite books.

This is so beautiful. I'm not sure if it's a mother or a friend or just someone who knows the girl speaking, but does it really matter? It paints the picture perfectly, anyway. (

beautiful ending and beginings.
i really enjoyed this. creative.

Good, though perhaps influenced by Neutral Milk Hotel? Don't know if you've ever heard them. Anyway, I liked some of the imagery and the feeling of longing and the lack of punctuation mixed with the capitalization.
