| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 10/23/03 at 06:15 PM I like the subtle but clear cut honesty of this poem. A colorful combination of positive and negative. |

| Posted by Max Bouillet on 10/29/03 at 07:10 PM A hope, a dream, a pumpkin, and a fish. Fantastic meshing of unique imagery that still gives coherent and powerful insight. Exquisite! |

| Posted by Meghan Helmich on 07/07/08 at 08:36 PM this is RIDICULOUSLY my heart in (blue) and white. my god, how did you know?
ugh, i'm just waiting for the second 'he' who does want to touch my skin. because i'm still (shh) really hung up on the first 'he.' and what a selfish male he is.
thanks olivia. this means a lot. |

| Posted by James Zealy on 07/14/08 at 06:15 PM Poignant sad and hopeful all at once. Does the heart cave as the pumpkin? When the fish eats is there yet hope? |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 07/16/08 at 06:17 PM I sit here trying not to say something nasty about this one who leaves not the heart for this lovely one who seems so patient and open. May you swim in and weave your lines upon us and wait not. |

| Posted by Jolie Jordan on 05/09/11 at 07:33 AM Found randomly, and I've already been here but I enjoyed it again. |
| Posted by Rob Littler on 02/15/16 at 08:28 PM my eyes are blinking like strobe lights at the end of this, quivering lids fluttering with knowing that depth of acceptance of soul, and the fruits therein, though sometimes rotting, are nonetheless worth the nostalgia to make them so. |
