exquisitely delicate and very moving poem {senryu?}
that depicts the heart's fragility in so few words....speaks
volumes. "I weep poems for you"'---stunning
play on choice of words. your pen never fails to impress
us readers! Thank you for sharing

This is the gentle, poetic, & old-fashioned version of how we can hide behind the illusion of online anonymity. So much packed into few words. Love the imagery.

Onion skin is something very unique but also slightly strange to read. I like the words "weep poems" as well ss the title. Nice and interesting, well-crafted, like always.
