lol, it is my own perspective. of course it is close-minded. we're not debating life and eternity... i'm sharing my suggestions and reactions. poems are personal, to both writer and reader. when we feel we've connected, and that we've thoroughly been mind-blown by your poem, then that's triggered some deep, close-minded id. i feel like a goon using that word.
my perspective of writing is not open-minded. in specific cases (such as poems), i have to be close-minded, or else i won't "get" the poem.
so i've scared you away by now... we've been partying the ECU victory and now i'm on writerscafe. drinking and critiquing does not mix. i'm sorry if i've been a butthead. for now, i'm going to pour lighter fluid on my keyboard and light it on fire. the wax will seal it up and i can just brush it all off the computer...
right?
not a problem... every good thing said was deserved. the title is what took me in, so i guess i have to compliment the title too. seems nothing is flawless with that damn thing.
i'm sorta jealous now :P
