I got the sense this is about the mind and its thoughts during those dark nights, sometimes they constantly drip and sometimes your mind is flooded with them, interesting and enjoyable read

A poem that shows the depth of the sea and the breadth of it as well, it rushes like a white water river. Nicely done

A most interesting write from the present to the past back to the future. Quite a series of jumps. Nice

The shell does not equal what it contains. A lovely poem of something intangible.

It transitions from despair and loss of control, but in the end a hint of reassurance. I love how its constructed! Keep up the good work

A most interesting analogy that I hadn\'t thought of before. Having moved many times in life I have always woken up in a new home, and what is home indeed. Having children I remember strapping them into the car seat and their rapid going to sleep with car movement. Nicely written thought provoking

And when Colorado finally settled on a baseball team they had to name it that, was it? Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

True. And having tried the slightly rude act of parking when someone else was driving out, they gave me this disgusted look in leaving (when they WERE finally able to drive out) frustrating me since I am forced to deal with drivers\' meanness and rudeness day and night, and figured once might be worth it, but it wasn\'t, of course. Thank you very much for this prettily rendered reminder to do what\'s right. Excellently rendered with great imagery and a warming poignancy.
