Cow Face
One Heck of a Guy

Having read your poetry just earlier today, I now have one regret. I regret not having read it sooner. I must admit to a personal bias: I prefer structured poetry over free-verse. Your free-verse, though, is more poetic than a large amount of structured poetry which I have read. Your writings contain great emotion; I feel almost as though you are speaking to me personally when I read your work. Vocabulary and description are perhaps your strongest points to me, they give great depth to your verse. While I read most all of them with my mouth slightly agape with awe, there were a few in particular which stood out to me.
A Life Twice Lost - This was the first thing by you which I ever read. The repetition herein added quite a bit to it, it symbolized to me the monotony of an obscure existence with the purpose only to exist. What many of us seem unable to comprehend- I often have difficulty truly understanding it myself- is that when we die, the world will not be greatly affected. Yes, those near us, such as the man's wife in the poem, will be hurt, possibly even angered, but the world as a whole will soon forget us; our existence will simply... disappear.
An Announcement - Despite the fact that it is only two lines long, I loved this poem. Indeed, it has since come to mind quite often as I go about my daily life.
Finally, Thyself was an excellent psychological poem.
"for i would rather die as myself, alone,
than die a nobody among nobodies."
This line especially appealed to me. I cannot seem to sum up the well of emotion and thought which it provoked in me. To put it simply, it was truly beautiful.
Before I go for now, though, I must point out a minor typo, as is (perhaps unfortunately) my wont. If Wishes Were - First verse, final line: devine should be divine.
