Ty.
I thought I should: Ty.
I thought I should clarify I meant it just is as in it just exists. also thanks for reading. I'm rewlly.enjoying yours as well!
take it or leave it: Well, after having read a few of your Poems, the recent ones, I can confidently fit myself in the category of sensing your obvious talent. And thank you very much for the comment.
Thank you again: That's very kind of you to say. I'm never sure what resonates with people so I just kind of try to draw comparison to conceptualizations
I have more on the way!: I had over 100 drafts that were in the "vault" as it were so I'm sure most of them will see the light of day at some point or another
Your verbal skill---highly: Your verbal skill---highly artistic and refined---is so consistent from line to line, and from poem to poem: and, in my opinion, this is a powerful indicator of talent at the highest degree of quality. You sure do have it, my friend!
Wow! I don't think I have: Wow! I don't think I have sufficient words to describe the effect of this evocation upon the reader's experience. And your powerful phrases---in the fifth and sixth lines, and in the ninth and right on into the final line---summon a sense of something I cannot articulate, but it is very definitely present. I hope to see many more of these from you; we can never have quite enough.
Thank you. You're always very: Thank you. You're always very kind about my work
Im particularly foul mouthed in average speech and wanted to add a drop of my naturally visceral nature in since none of my other work contains that, usually.
You'll see it now and then as I'm starting to let loose the rest of my drafts. Sometimes it's necessary because I feel strongly about many subjects and it requires expletive emphasis.
I also wanted it to feel a little silly since I'm normally quite serious in my writing but I'm jovial in person.
Thanks for understanding!
Except for the expletive in: Except for the expletive in the final line, this is a magnificently evocative poem. And that fourth line, the phrase "body of my want," is one of the finest I have ever read here, or elsewhere (and I have been reading Poetry for half a century as of this past April).
