my favourite.

2007-03-01
and then you die, anyway.

2007-03-01
i commend writing that says more with few words than those that do with thousands.

2007-03-01
this is romance.

the real, pure kind.

not that fake hallmark bullshit.

2007-03-01
I love the political association of the black boots tying into the footprints, which in turn are associated with memories, and good thing. [Well, at least for me.] So the fact that you could tie these two together cyclically is really kind of amazing.

And there are few political poems I can read. So well done.

2007-02-27
this is me.

2007-02-27
i usually can't stand poetry that has some kind of general political underlying theme, because it's usually pretentious bullshit and the writer has no idea what the hell they're talking about.

however, this time as a reader it is i who has no idea what the hell is going on and the political pieces are not an attempt at being alternative and ironic, and i have no idea what anything is but i like it, i really do. something about the repetition of lines and coffee and a general attitude of mindfuckery has left me very concerned about myself. i feel as though i need to go right the ills of the world, but unfortunately i am entirely too lazy. i think i need to reread this. my brain hurts.

A lot, if you must know.

2006-08-18
My heart fucking hurts.

2006-08-02
I'm so sorry =/

But at the same time, I almost feel like you knew it would end up like last night. Because you know how we know things.

There are approx. 34333333333333434 fish in the sea, so thet's a hella lotta fish to have yourself some fishsticks.

I feel like I have lived this, and I feel a sort of happy grief.

S'possible? I hope so.

2006-07-30
explain now.

2006-07-01
One of the cooler things I've ever read.

The subtle rhymes make it perfect.

2006-05-31
I feel.

Pain. Nostalgia. Want. Need. Security. Paranoia. Panic. Sleepy. Consumed. Fear. Anxiety. Irrepressible longing.

Love.

Because of this.

I can't describe.

Favourite.

2006-05-23
Yeah.

2006-05-21
Tragically beautiful.

2006-05-21
I love them too.

2006-05-21
=]

2006-05-18
I want thissssss. I need to live it.

2006-05-15
That's what I said.

2006-05-11
And oh how I know it...

2006-05-11
This would make a great picture book! I would definitely read it to my kids.

Um. If I had kids...

2006-05-11
The longing is expressed so well...

2006-05-11
Empowering and perfect.

2006-04-24
The first is my favourite, but they are all lovely =]

2006-04-10
Beautiful.

2006-04-10
I am a fool on bits of paper too.

But we'll turn out ok, probably.

2006-04-08
Waitaminute,

is perfectness a word?

Damn. PERFECTION.

I win.

2006-04-08
[dies from perfectness]

I'm feeling you on this one. [Heh, not the same person, however.]

Bee-you-tee-ful.

2006-04-08
Zoya, Zoya...once again, your words are leaving me breathless here. You've capture the perfect essence of wondering motherhood, loving motherhood, happy motherhood, and needing motherhood...

The last stanza is gripping. The last lines are perfect.

2006-04-07
Miss Zoya, I have to tell you that your poems are always, ALWAYS a pleasure to read, particularly out loud. The way the words twist and wind themselves into a beautiful rhythm...it's enchanting, honestly.

I can't wait until you publish your work and I can say I "knew you" before you were famous!

2006-04-06
I love the repetition.

Did you put this to music??? You should, it would be amazing.

2006-04-06
I love the conflicting feelings in this. Dark and depressing, but at the same time good to read, nice rhythm, etc.

I love "Today the world is on crack."

2006-04-06
[Hums Can't Buy Me Love quietly]

Beautiful. I think a lot of us can relate.

2006-03-22
And they said

"epilogue."

?

2006-02-05
This could be the story of my life...

I really feel the emotion in this one. Well done =]

2006-02-01
I love the subtle connection between burning bridges [the card game bridge as well?] and "playing your hand."

It works really well together. Good job.

2006-02-01
I totally agree with Mary.

Usually I have a problem with rhyming poems, because they tend to ... not rhyme ... but you did an amazing job of actually MAKING it rhyme and keeping up the tempo.

Well done.

2006-01-30
Beautiful...

2006-01-30
There may be more to life, but I have yet to find it.

I'll keep looking.

2006-01-15
Beautiful.

2006-01-14
It makes me want to plant flowers and then hide underneath of them forever...

2006-01-14
The rhyme is phenomenal.

I almost wish it was put to music. It'd be an amazing, plaintively beautiful song. You don't write music, do you?

2006-01-14
Why the heck did I type wind? I meant rhyme...

2006-01-14
You did a really nice job with the wind, never a falter or a stutter!

2005-12-18
The last line really completes it, well done =]

2005-12-16
There are one-thousand things said here in 22 words...

Beautiful.

2005-12-16
Having read the Odyssey a couple of years ago, and having known the tale of Rapunzel since I was little, this poem really appealed to me. I hadn't heard of Godot, but after reading your footnote, I really fell in love with the ending =] Well done, well done.

2005-12-16
Zoya, this is simply AMAZING, it does indeed appeal to my nature =]

It's so full of wonder, and a sense of sadness. I am almost afraid of the way it forces me to think and consider who I really am. I feel like we shouldn't be allowed to ask these questions, but we always will.

And I love the rhymes inserted here and there, it does wonders for the flow.

2005-12-14
I love the line "Sophies crime was her soul"

It's amazing, as is the poem as a whole.
