All Comments on 'Reflections On A Typo'

loved this on the passion thread, very glad you posted it. really made me think about love and life and things i should really work on changing..thanks Lin :)

I thought this was going to take a different direction when I read the title. I like the way you handled it.

Have you come across the embarrassing lover/liver typo? ;)

It takes a poet to not just hit backspace, but to notice, reflect, and draw so much semantic and emotional insight from so little a slip. Bravo!

Most novel, refreshing, and well done.

Just one question,

Did you mean "form",

or were you typing too fast again?

Well YDD, yes. It's semi intentional. I intended from first, but typed form, and decided to leave it in. But perhaps the line would had worked better with an added adverb.

TY all for the comments.

love/live,

I love this kind of poem--it's philosophical but simply stated so that it doesn't overwhelm--and it shouldn't because it endorses a basic but critical (at least to me) way of looking at the world. In the last line, I think you could get away without "Both." Just my opinion, but just saying "I do" would end the poem sufficiently--that "Both" sounds a bit awkward to my ear, but maybe it's just me. It's really a wonderful poem. :)
