 Jesse the Storyteller 2008-12-27 . chapter 1Wow. I was prepared for stupid angst (I've been reading way too much of that)... but this was surprising, refreshing, original, and good. I really liked it, despite the fact there was no punctuation or capitalization. Actually, the lack of punctuation or capitalization helped the case, because it added to the despair and the ramblingness.
"grief space" was a very original line. It made me think of "Deep space" - the point, obviously, but you twisted it cleverly. Very very nice.
You've done really well by separating the lines in awkward places... I think that if you had put "alive" on its own line in the first stanza it would have given the poem a uniformity that would've made it that much better. The "him" and "either" resonated nicely on their own lines. :)
I really liked this poem. Haha. Good job! :D
