All Comments on 'Denizens: Maggie'

like a novel.

quite the story told here.

great images mutt, and it flowed like a slow dance.

i enjoyed this! xx

Lots of strong imagery and fresh similes. - My only question is if it would be better to chop a few "likes"? For some reason they halt the reading flow for me. Could you metamorph to metaphor some similes? ;)

a lot of depth and range.

Nice stuff.

You're getting a lot stronger in your writing

Thank you

seems to me like a very engaging, colorful tale, I would love to read it expanded upon, if you ever decide to do so, Maggie seems full of fire and destined for greatness ;)

Really well worded to strike clear images.

Great job, Mutt!! ;-)

so much of Maggie is solid and clear and mysterious in my mind...you are a story teller Mutt my sweets and shine through your poetry. Please write more in this vein.

I especially like this phrase...

"hard as the face she showed strangers."

Yet another tragic figure you portray here — a sad figure tossed aside by humanity, desperately trying to remain connected.

Thank you LeBroz for reintroducing this poetic tale and thanks to JeniferMidmight (with a little Irish blood)for somehow describing in 2004 exactly what crossed my mind today :)

But thanks most to the poet who put together such a poem to marvel upon!
