"christian"7/26-27/02 If you were this cigarette, I would puff all life out off you 'till you're nothing but ashes. But here, now it is this heart that feels like cigarette butt squashed flat on cold-muddy ground. *this poem is for christian vasquez, i miss you, the old sweet and caring you, you may not say it but i feel you slipping away and it hurts so bad..... |

Wow, this has a lot of intensity... it's cold and brief, kept concise... but has all of the impact it could have had if you'd drawn it out. I think you did a great job of selectively writing this. Also, I don't usually like poems that are titled the name of the subject character. However, this one works... because the poem is a connection you make between the person and your reaction to the person - the name "Christian," and your definition of the name, through poetry. Nicely done! If you were this cigarette, I would puff all life out off you 'till you're nothing but ashes. I really like the idea of, "if you were this cigarette." Saying "this" really sets an image in the reader's mind, of the speaker standing there, holding a cigarette, and contemplating it... It takes talent to change a poem into an image with a single word. Kudos. Parasite |

Oh come on, you're a poet. Poets aren't scared of losing people we just pen them something sweet and everything is alright again. I think this calls for something in the way of a personal appeal. Send him something, a gift maybe, who knows... don't do it in person... but get a poem to him. Something like this, but less dark. If you can get him to read something from you, he'll want to reply. He will contact you. Then he's all yours. Good luck. |
