Let Me Count the Whos

I stumbled upon your poetry randomly, and I have to say that this poem is actually one of my favorites. You might not like it for whatever reason, but I hope you don't mind my saying so.

Also, this might sound strange, but your voice has a very nice, soothing quality. Take that as a compliment, I guess?

I look forward to hearing more of your stuff. :)

I will take that as a compliment. Although I suffer from the quite common condition of not being able to take compliments well.

....and I think you are way too hard on your poetry... in my experience.. "Light Verse" can be harder to write than more "serious fare"--mainly because one needs to get more information across in a short time with "light verse"--and most ""light verse" has a subtext of things deeper and much more serious... not to mention most poets try to get this all across AND go for a laugh in "light verse"--I think it's a very under-rated form of poetry.

[Joshbuckler]

Thank you for that.

I seemed to have a very lyrical quality to it... really loved it... 5*/faved

Again, amazing poem, Josh. Your rhyming is very good and it read very well. 5* and fav'd.

It's really cool to see all the drafts you did and the progression from the first draft to the last where it begins to take more shape. I hope you post more, it's brilliant hearing your words.

Thanks again for your encouragement. You know you've had the most influence on how these poems come out.

Thank you, Josh.

I believe you said that you're not particularly proud of this work and that it's more of a rhyming practice piece. I think it's always nice to do that. Every once in a while it's good to just write without making "The Perfect Poem" (whatever THAT is. ;-)

Anyways, I throughly enjoyed this piece and I hope to bask in the greatness of another one of your poems in the near future.
