So, I'm reviewing all the pieces that popped into
my inbox so long ago...

I adore this-I think your mature language is
fantastic, and you're word choice is so well done.
I personally feel silly if I attempted to use half the
big words you do. :p

But it works so well for you!

I also love how the poem progresses:
very very smoothly

Nicely done.

Wow. Amazing.

Wow. I'm not really sure what to say. A bit of concrit: "yet has a contradictory relationship with" - yet with whom it has a contradictory relationship? Whatever, it doesn't even matter, this was truly brilliant and beautifully deep. Great work.

Anna,

If I'm interpreting this right, experience is being rather rough on the heart, chipping away at youthful hope.

A good poem, expressing a feeling anyone could relate to at different times in their lives.

The older I get the more I appreciate the idea of the truth being in motion to a very real degree, tied with changing circumstances and perspectives (rain today, sun tomorrow).

While I usually disapprove of long run-on sentences, yours carry me along at breathtaking speed through voyages of wonder and discovery that I reach the end wishing for more.

Your poetic self-analysis is so nakedly revealing that psychologists could learn much from it.

This was very good, the tone of the piece was reflected throughout the poem. You did an amazing job!

I swear, I learn new words every time I read something you've written. Your vocabulary, and the way you use it, is mindblowing.

This is wondrous poetry - it's extremely moving, and thought-provoking. Poignant, like the pinch at the tip of your nose when you're about to cry.

I love this so, so very much.
