Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 03/27/09 at 11:32 AM Interesting story. I like the fragmented approach this seems to have. We're not getting every detail, and I think that makes it that much more interesting. |
Posted by Joan Serratelli on 03/27/09 at 11:47 AM Beautiful Tony, just beautiful! I cannot pick out a favorite line or stanza because I LOVE all of this exquisite piece! I'm adding it to my favorites list and suggesting it for POTD! |
Posted by Nanette Bellman on 03/27/09 at 04:37 PM I agree with Gabe. This hits me pretty hard and I think it's beautiful. I'm adding this to my favs. |

Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 04/07/09 at 03:11 PM There is a delicate feel to this, and a great sadness underlying it. Lovely ending stanza. |
Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 04/14/09 at 11:09 PM Also quite nice. Love the unexpected line: the bills got paid, but quite apropos with the theme and other images. |
