| Posted by Karl Waldbauer on 08/08/04 at 06:50 AM It's all about risk taking, isn't it Max? I've spent quite a while now reflecting on the implications you present in this one. Excellent and thoroughly enjoyable. |

| Posted by Amanda J Cobb on 08/08/04 at 03:25 PM You've hit a chord with this one, Max - I understand it all too well. A very well-put little verse. |
| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 08/08/04 at 03:28 PM Yikes. (Your poetry always makes me say that.) Jam packed with possibilities, and the ones that come to mind the quickest shock me the most. I love that what you write smacks me in the face. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 08/10/04 at 02:49 AM Quite effective expression of love and not letting that closeness grow too strong before any negative reprocussions rear their ugly head. |

| Posted by Rachelle Howe on 08/14/04 at 03:27 AM i guess i just see the softer side. it's like holding in a breath before you take that final exhale. and when you do, when you let it out, the next time you breathe in seems so much deeper. |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 08/16/04 at 01:24 PM the warmth in this verse is cooked just so as the reader would like, as one would like an egg poached just so and thus you've poached this to sublimity. |
