All Comments on 'A Long, Empty Space'

When I try to read a poem I try to form some kind of picture in my mind, but unfortuantlly you are one of the many that don't. so other words A BIG WASTE OF TIME

If only there had been an empty space on the server where this...whatever it is...was posted. </p>

Like most monologues, it's got its high points and its problems. But, it has a nice rhythm, and a message all too many self-styled slacker poets can identify with, I suspect. A solid effort, even if it ultimately comes off more glib than searching.

I think I've lived this poem. Success in life seems to have less to do with talent than with motivation, although I guess you could call motivation a talent in and of itself. Wandering through life with knowledge and no focus only seems to work if your last name is Kerouac. A well deserved 5!

Fast talker ~ this guy's not hep ~ he's hip - to a lot of people, places and things. Long monologue fun to read! Glad I found this one!

A little private monologue

Displayed for all the world to see

Of all your observations

With rose-tinted glasses set aside.

you cut to the heart. It's strange how the most cryptic and personal things speak to the most people. I love that I was lucky enough to read this. - j

I love having the company.

empty space you filled with something exceptional. Great stuff.

I loved it. thanks for sharing

How did you get into my head? I have tried so many times to put just these thoughts into words. If I knew how to delete some of my fav's you'd go to the top of the list with this one! Thanks!

Last high compliment I gave got deleted. So here, I'll just say that if this and a few other of your poems I've read were in a book, I'd buy the book. Hell, I'd borrow money to buy the book...

I know this person -- and her cousin. Exceptional! ~Imp

Your poem has been mentioned in the new Poems review for Tuesday 1st of February. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
