All Comments on 'Past and Present'

....as if you pulled out all the stops and used every metaphore you could think of in one poem. It's a bit of overkill - which is a shame because you have some lovely images and ideas. Maybe a re-write to tone it down a little? I read Lost and Found and it has none of the over-the-top of this work. You are a fine poet IMO.

:Note: I am not using the thermometer any more - it means nothing.

My comments on your poem are on the new poems thread in the poetry forum. I did not use the thermometer for rating.

...see where Tristesse is coming from in her comments below, but you, my dear, are clearly a poet with some glorious talents. Your writing flows and strong images seem to come out of nowhere. Just keep writing -- some work better than others, but you have a mindful and mouthful of things to say, and wonderful ways to say them!!

lol i asked you what midnights sun was..

good gawd you sure have a way with words
