I get so nervous right before: I get so nervous right before I post a poem and I fear what people will think, but your comments give me life and validate my art. Thank you for reading this. I'm not good at speaking directly, but it means more to me than I can say

This is such an astoundingly: This is such an astoundingly poignant and dramatic poem, that I cannot organize my thoughts to write an objective comment about it.  Nothing in the text of the poem prepares the reader for the punch delivered by the final two lines:  this is one of your finest Poems, and I applaud (and loudly, eagerly applaud) your accomplishment here.

Now that's poetry! I was: Now that's poetry! I was stunned, humbled and delighted as you graced me with both encouragement and splendor. An enormous thank you, highly valued Poet!!!

Each line gave off an: Each line gave off an electrifying spark of recognition as I saw myself in your journey. And isn't that what the best poetry does? Under the dazzle (And you've got it, my friend!), we make a connection that reaches deep, rattles us, even changes us.   With your own lithe, glistening and contagiously emotive style, plus a brilliant handling of dichotomy, you invited me to explore my own feelings about change.   How quotable and on target is your conclusion that, for all my own aching and moaning about change, perhaps it's not a cruel, cosmic joke after all; perhaps it's not even good or bad:    "It  just     hits  different."   A thought-provoking success. Loving it! Be well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this: I thoroughly enjoyed this dizzyingly brilliant and serene introspection. I was absolutely entranced by the metaphorical enchantment of a dew-laden web turning to ice crystals (the passage of time) which are embraced as "dreamcatchers" for life's inner nightmares.   A stunning exercise for my imagination. And, believe me, the payoff was huge! Amazing.

THIS hits different: holds a lifetime worth of story that diminishes any such romance to bland sorrow. and the pop-culture reference makes a great frame for the big picture of your clever camera!

I've read it thrice and: I've read it thrice and probably a few.more.times after posting this and still.concocting meanings bit they all boil down to the blushing cheeks to.which I will call a romantic line, I looked for monsters and peep holes but could find it to make sense so I just kept enjoying the maze over and over again with all its secret passages and dead ends. Thank you sir, a nod to you. A great way to pass some time reading your head but only ending up reading mine. Well played... well played!

How beautifully pondered is: How beautifully pondered is the faith that the wheels will still go round in what ever fashion, beautifully rendered a painting as magnificent as its frame guided and intricately carved catching the eye to signal what glory lies within and you did not disappoint! The stokes perfectly weighted the dark dancing with the light, the colours harmonising and clashing where they should placing drama unfolding into a renewal of at the very least high hopes drawing you into other dimensions of thought, experience and imagination with keys to emotions clicking open the locks at every line's end and yet still more is fathomed from the whole as much as the universe in each part. Beautifully and masterfully done, the fire to my smoke, water to my vapour, rich earth to my dust. Hugss Ss

Thank you quite: And I love how keenly you were able to pinpoint literally my intentions; certainly made me feel good and proud and I'm glad it didn't go unnoticed at 4 o'clock in the morning

I like that third line's: I like that third line's double allusion to T. S. Eliot's poems, The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock and The Hollow Men.
