| Posted by Aaron Blair on 11/29/03 at 07:39 PM I like the metaphor in the first two stanzas, especially the lighthouse part. |
| Posted by Kristine Briese on 11/29/03 at 08:44 PM I love its concreteness. |

| Posted by Max Bouillet on 12/01/03 at 11:32 PM Laura was right... glad you reposted. I especially like the last stanza for it shows the multi-layered thought process that we all have. Those thoughts the build us up and those thoughts that tear us down. Great read. |
| Posted by Trisha De Gracia on 12/02/03 at 02:09 AM I like this. Even the way it's centred reminds me of waves. You are so brilliant, you know that? |
| Posted by Laura Doom on 12/22/03 at 10:14 PM ...pretty much alone? Not my impression - anyway, one of my favourites since I first read it |

For some reason I love this: "the waves lap
like dehydrated animals." |

| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 12/11/06 at 03:57 AM CONGRATULATIONS on POTD! This is wonderfully contemplative. It's like my transformation poems. The form and similes are excellent. I'm tired right now, so I can't think of anything more brilliant to say, except that I love it!
