I do like the simplicity. Like a zen koan though a bit shorter than most. Highly evocative, so many interpretations to be had from only 7 letters. Also, I like the no punctuation--no capitalizations. It enhances the simplicity.

Sweet and mellifluent. But the turtles have to go (in england they mean something that rhymes with shit -oops i said it, but I quite liked this, nicely worded *7*

very clever. let me give you a push indeed.:)

I enjoyed this. Not overly mawkish and very simple in its content. Almost as if a child could read the words although the meaning goes much deeper. Definitely a cut above most love poems.

I'm intrigued by the expression in this piece, noones commented, i reckon their confused, HELP !

DAMMIT, MAN! STOP READING MY DIARY!

very prosaic, and thoroughly enjoyable. i agree with hatters hare; also, fix a few typos. reminds me of the time when a tornado went through new haven, taking out all the century-old sycamores and breaking not a single pane on the greenhouse across the street...

Try leaving the last line off. what do you think? If not could you tell me what it's like, to drown in him/her?

The last stanza's quite simple, which I think is rare for you. Perhaps everyones expecting you to be all business, and it's casual friday. It is a bit simple, but why not? I don't know, but I think if this stanza had been penned by some other, I would like it less. maybe it's just that I never get moody like that...

Don't tell us somuch how you feel. Tellus what happened, you know, what the day was like, the color of his shoes, anything. If you show us what happened we'll know how you feel. Good Luck.

A one word rebuttal: "YOU."

cool poem, but the title made me laugh so hard the first time i read it, i had to go back. (in-joke, long story..)

Brilliant, but the line 'I am an investment banker' makes it slightly humorous though, and a lot less sinister.Can you dig that?

top shelf! 8 swastikas!

sounds like quite the evening.

Genius!!!!!!!!!!I love this
