     Clearly I've been hanging around in completely the wrong places.
You got the address for me Terry?
Liked the poem once I'd figured out where the sentences ended.
That's a criticism of me not you. I don't do poetry too well (ask the man above), but I'm learning.

     your material tends to always be one literal step ahead of me. it is always a pleasure to read your work, your timing is as unique as the stories they contain.
write on! + Report this comment |  |

     This flowed well, I liked how the only way it really seemed like a poem was in the way it was formatted. I feel like the breaking up of sentences between lines worked better in some places than others. Example: good:
"Foreignness in her speech,
Her tone, the way the words
Came out"
And confusing:
"The girl in the coffee
Shop, something in the way"
(why is coffee shop divided up?)
Overall, good. Excellent description. + Report this comment |  |

     I liked the quiant(?) atmosphere of this poem. It wasn't painful or depressing. I found it to be more like longing in the everyday sense. You did a good job with this. + Report this comment |  |

     Hi Terry
I am fairly new here
I clicked on you and this for two reasons.
First of all you have a picture and a profile that tells me something, and secondly, my first wife (1967) was Polish.
It is obvious from the comments above that you are well loved.
I am going to love you too if this is the sort of thing you do.
Thankyou.
Kind regards

     Well, there isn't much I can say here that everybody else hasn't, is there?
It bloody great, to say the least.
I wonder who this mysterious 'Hank' is, though.
Good Work, Sir. Always enjoy a Poem by you. + Report this comment |  |
