I like the idea. I just think there's a lot more you can do with it. It seems to be in that middle ground between minimalism and a proper description. |

Absolutely. I agree with that. I may or may not add to it, depending on what comes when I try to do so. In the meantime, Anyone? |

I like the concept, but think you're not giving full-reign to your imagination here. The opening line for instance, it's a tell, not a show line. Why not something like - The sun's spokes of light still spin the world round. Know what I mean, something a bit more creative? Also, this part here could use some compression, it's very awkward syntax - Even though I think that sometimes You think that I... It could just be - Even though you may think that I... I like the ending, could read it as optimistic or as a pessimist - take-off and fly and succeed, or maybe just kill yourself. ( or maybe become an astronaut.) Interesting read as usual. Regards, sampo. |

Good message, it gets "twisty" between the last line of S1 and the first line of S2. What are you going for here. It seems you have changed your style to this new contemplative format. I like it, but what are you going for? Dane |

Sampo- Thank you very much. I hope you'll read the next poem I want to put up. CS- Thanks. I'm not particularly sure. I'm slowly allowing more and more poetry to just... come out. And then i work on the raw material a little bit. Shave off what I see as extra. Sometimes it just turns out like this. Thanks all around, any more? -Paul |

I like this a lot! It doesn't feel contrived. |

I liked it. While reading it, I didn't get the impression you were trying to write it. It reads well. |

I'm spinnin...I think it's great. Just shows that one doesn't have to say a lot to make a big impression. |
