Let Me Not

As usual,

your poem singles itself out because it seems more real than most of the confessional "I'm pouring my heart out here" stuff that we normally find on the New Poems thread. Having said that, the problem I often have with your poems is that they are too prosaic--i.e., you're basically telling me how you feel, rather than showing me how you feel through imagery that would help me to experience your feelings myself rather than just read about and sympathize with them.

Pretty good poem, though, anyway, as I said.
