| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 11/11/08 at 08:52 PM Well spoken sir, though I might add that the whole world's wholeness to a certain degree also depends on that first draft. |

| Posted by JJ Johnson on 07/02/11 at 10:16 PM I like this from beginning to end, but esspecially the final stanza. I can only imagine to write something so important and dream of a poem that will stand the test of time and critics. This reminded me that I had recently updated several of my older poems for publication and realized that they have felt the final draft. Now and forever sealed beneath the gravestone of a book cover, they rise or fall on the eyes of the reader. Excellent poem that evokes a writers passion. jj |
