Hey. Thank you for the review. It was very direct. I'm not sure whether to take that as a good thing (here's my favorite moment from a good poem) or a bad one (this was pretty much the only nice thing I could say), but in either case I'm glad to get the feedback. So, here I am returning the favor. This review is numbered for convenience.

1) I think, for this collection, your opening and closing poems were easily the strongest pieces. "Picture" was clever and required a good deal of thought without being confusing. "For Want of a February 29" was very direct and equally clever. It felt like something Ogden Nash might write.
2) Poems 2-11 did not have as much of an affect on me. They kept with a constant theme (recovering from a failed relationship, I think?), but while they all touched on different shades of emotion, I didn't feel like they examined the issue different ways. They were more of a diary of feelings. Generally sad feelings. I think the 'this is how I'm feeling' style combined with the comparative briefness of the poems made them much less than the opening and the conclusion. But i'm being seriously nitpicky, so feel free to ignore me.
3) Personally, I find it hard to write a poem without putting a seriously huge blob of words on the paper. I am impressed with the way that you condense your poems into only a few lines and still say what you need to. You might consider experimenting with haiku or tanka.
4) "For Want of a February 29" is a very engaging title. I don't usually critique titles, but it was definitely grabbing. I'm glad it was the namesake for this collection.
5) Keep writing. You've definitely got talent and, if I have the time, I'll try to read a few more of your poems.

I really enjoyed reading through this. My favourites were numbers 10-12; I thought those ones had really innovative ideas behind them.

interesting...i like the metaphor in this one. nice work.

I remember this! I always thought it was an interesting poem, especially the way you're supposed to read it. I never thought you'd upload it though; it's one of you're most closet-y poems yet. :)

I like 'Sincerely Anything But Yours' and 'Fantasy' the best so far ^ ^ I look forward to reading more!

You express the emotion so well in these. Wonderful work.

Oh, nice. I love the double meaning in the last two words. Actually, I'm sure there are more than two meanings there. Those two words are filled with so much emotion, and using the italics to show that worked nicely. Keep writing! :)

These are all great, I like them a lot. I'll put you on my alerts and await poems 5-12.

I love when people can capture & express emotions even in very few words. this left an imprint on my mind & in under 40 words. oh its a talent, Beautifully written.

OMG! I'm reviewing you! I actually took the time to log on and write you a review! Ok... These are two of the creepiest poems I've read in awhile; not creepy bad, but creepy good. I'd go into more detail, but I'm too hyper currently.

Luv, Calliope Veronica!

A very strong poem. It flows well, and the content is clearly well scripted. While the format is a tad boring, the poem carries enough finesse on it's own to make this an amazing piece of work.
