    Very good!

    I actually like the long lines, for some reason they remind me of Allen Ginsbergs "Howl" with its long lines and repititions.

    The metaphor of chewing paper is both simple and deep.

    Though I still like "Mister" better, this one is very straight-forward, personal and passionate
    The Moments of Dominion
    That happen on the Soul
    And leave it with a Discontent
    Too exquisite — to tell —
    -Emily Dickinson

    Love this style of writing! Written with a clarity about how bitter life can be. Images are vibrant!

    Love this. Really love it. It's amazing how busy the poetry thread was in 2007.

    Wasn't it ?... Strolling through the past: Some wonderful poetry in the main Poetry Forum and its sub-forum - it's been a delight.

    In fact it is a part of a 4-line poem.

    The apple renders
    Heaven’s day, tenderly;
    The leaves are scattered
    About the wood-land splendidly.

    It was written after a rain.
