Hi @run-the-bits - I have to say I am very impressed with the effort you have put into your first few posts here. Your poetry itself is not entirely my cup of tea, but that is more of a stylistic preference and no slight on your craft there.
Your prose in your posts proper, on the other hand - that is an entirely different matter. You wield language with an unusual precision and have exhibited a flair for picking the perfect word time and again here. I am very glad you told the story of the homeless poet and so masterfully wove this anecdote into the narrative of your own progression and growth as a poet and a person. My selfish request to you would be to continue to grace us with your long form prose writing in your posts here, as well as sharing your poetry. I truly enjoyed reading your writing and I am looking forward to more of you in my feed (followed).
Much love - Carl
Thank you soo much for your thoughtful comment @carlgnash ...I was already beginning to question whether I should continue including the prose narrative as it makes my posts a little long. Partly thanks to your kind words though, I see that it can have just as much value as the poems themselves. I cannot thank you enough for your comment (hopefully a follow will do for now) and I look forward to sharing more :)
