Perfect. I can hardly fathom someone creating a better description of exactly this, which by definition is a little impossible, but I'm saying that this is perfect.

Beautiful. With sunsets always being such dismal symbols (with the exception of the ends of some movies), it's refreshing to have them reinterpreted in such a tender and harmless context. I love all of this, and it's my favorite sunset poem. One small thing: is the "its" in line 5 supposed to be "he", or was it intentionally that way?

ME GUSTA MUCHO

que te sonría Dios por este poema.

Exactly. =)

I enjoyed this. I particularly like the shift from "my bed" to "our bed". Well expressed, good work.

Firstly, I absolutely LOVE the imagery. This is poetry indeed. Secondly, you have a typo - 5th stanza, 3rd line. Thirdly, I cannot really think how I would change this excellent poem, aside from maybe making the ending a little less explicit (by that point the reader has already inferred what is happening, use that space for something else, maybe? I don't know.) Love it.

DECEPTIVE. AWESOME AND DECEPTIVE. I had to go back and read it again after I read the end to confirm that I wasn't crazy. It also has a really subtle rhythmic quality in the middle which may not have been totally intentional but is neat. Great poem. Now that you point out the existence of the comment prompt question, I suppose I should answer it: ¡the read me engañó! (but was very enjoyable.)

You need a comma between the "would" and the "too" in the fourth line.

The tone of this one is so strikingly different from the others, more reflective, contemplative, subdued. The change to the present tense in the last line hits hard - effective and perfect. The repetition in the last two stanzas works well. This one is so different from the others, but it is one my favorites. Well done.

2011-02-11
I love the honesty, how you didn't try to convey anything that wasn't there. Very real. Very brotherly.

What Claudia said.

2011-02-11
AHHHH so multidimensionally splendid. =) I like this one even more but I have less to say about it, so I'll just leave it at that.

2011-02-11
=). I like that you don't mention that it is your dad until the last line. Adds effect. Cute.

**** YEAH!!!!!

My god the rhythm is brilliant. So continuous, fittingly, like the wind. Eventually I will get over my first-impression awe of this poem and think about what it says a little bit harder. But I won't wait until then to comment.

2010-11-22
booooooooooo... good write, boo situation =(. alcohol sucks... and so does unrequited love.

2010-11-22
I really like approximately every other line of this. Good work nick, really beautiful poem.

2010-11-18
my new favorite poem of yours. the language is brilliant, the emotion evident, and the whole thing flows so well... i'm just not quite sure what else to say. i love it. thank you for notifying me of its existence. you better let me read this novel whether or not you ever finish it. (finish it.) once again, LOVE THIS POEM. GAHH - really, it's amazing.

2010-10-17
This poem hit me harder than any poem I can remember reading, almost made me cry.

2010-09-23

just thought i'd let you know: behind the gangsta jazz, this year's vanguard show, this year's cadets show, and the PR's spartacus show, this is next in the list of things over the years that have most made we want to do marching band.

p.s. don't think i've been converted, though =P

when i first read this, i was too intimidated by sun.moon.stars.rain's eloquent comment to say anything. this is simply too powerful to ignore, however, so i'll post my actual physical reaction to my first reading of this poem. *shhivvvvvvverrr*.....

2009-06-20
creative, thought-provoking, and sad but enjoyable.

2009-06-20
This made me smile. This atmosphere and scene are nicely described. Thanks. : )

2009-06-20
I like this one a lot, thanks for this, and thanks for saving me as a writing friend. "How I wonder while I'm here/ How my God has spent His Years" - I love these lines... quite an interesting thing to think about.

2009-06-20
I love how you always manage to put the perfect blend of clarity of/guidance through the scene/situation and thought-provoking, enigmatic vagueness. It is quite engaging to sit here and think about all the various meanings of your words, and never know if what i'm thinking is what you meant. Thanks for this.

2009-06-18
yay i finally found it! i thought i'd looked on all of your profiles, but then i stumbled on to this one and realized that i'd forgotten that it existed because it isn't saved as a friend for some dumb reason. anyways... i finally found the text, and now i demand to hear the music! Now. I can't wait. Sweetness.

2009-06-12
Kaede, it's okay - I didn't end up saying too much : )

2009-06-12
Yessssssssss.............. I love it. I'll learn it. I'll live it. We'll all live it. : ) Thanks for this.

2009-06-12
Yes, this about sums it up - i'm not sure what to make of your use of the word "sweet", though it certainly gives the poem a very interesting tone, and implies a very interesting take on the situation... I love the "carefully careless configuration fooling no one" - so true, so true. You have successfully conveyed a lot of what i'll simply call "things" in this poem, and you've done it very well - congratulations. And no - it's not finished. : )

2009-05-22
I would definitely have liked to have been there with you guys... Next time, I'll go on the beautiful afternoon bike ride, and you can take your turn at whatever the hell I was doing today... getting blinded on stage and such... :D sound like a plan? Nice poem.

2009-05-21
I however, do fail... at writing anything whatsoever. Let me try that again: It seems you never fail to create something deeply moving whenever your write. I'm honored to know a poet of your caliber.

The poem = quite frightening, well worded and structured
The other comment = completely true and slightly hilarious

2009-05-21
Brilliant. It's so easy to see it all happen - it's so understandable, even though it doesn't describe some everyday series of events. Definitely one of my favorites of yours.

2009-05-21
you wrote this poem
this poem is brimming with emotion
this poem leaves the reader full of an emotion
that emotion is not grief
that makes me very happy
this is a beautiful piece of writing
thank you

I try to, but generally I find that I can only step back long enough to get a glimpse of the general picture, then have to dive straight back in again. It's hard to escape. I like summer. Summers are good. Good poem. thought provoking, as usual.

2009-04-11
Perhaps simplicity is not a way to understand things but rather the result of people's efforts to understand them.

2009-04-11
incredibly sad. incredibly good. incredible.

2009-02-19
Ok, ok, now I realized what happened the first time - my line was too long and so it got broken. Maybe I actually spelled it right after all, but now I have two acrostic comments that make me look like a moronface. The third try is the charm...

I would just like to state for the record the first comment was written at 2 a.m., completely under two thick blankets that don't let any light out, but don't let oxygen in, either. I was also trying to look up at the screen of a partially folded laptop through the small remaining space between the screen and the keyboard, and type without making a sound. Having explained this, I would like a second chance to look like I know how to spell...

Coming from a master
of morbid poetry,
never did I expect such a
fine, sweet certainty expressed
in the brightness of the future, almost
daring the "you" in the poem to disagree,
even though I'm sure they would
never dream of it.
Touching.

P.S. I suck at acrostics, but this poem deserved at least an effort. And I can spell. Really. I can.

uhh...inventor of the guillotine? ...constructor of the atomic bomb? I have no idea, but this is well done and i'm curious to no end.
