very much haiku in spirit.

funny, I didn't get "A" or "V" in letters of geese, but then pictured the rest of the poem about their dropped feathers.

hmm.

feels like it's reaching further than it's grasped.

I like the first two lines. And the blank spot. :)

If it wasn't really intentioned (hard to say), and the last few lines were more self-referential, I might like it more.

How in the hell did I get here?
What in the hell am I doing?
I knew I shouldn't have gone to see you!
How could I do this?

-- I don't like those lines. I'm thinking up to that point, the piece might be okay if it were a bit more breathless.

You pretty much completely lost me after that.

crescendo?
pimentos?

cute, but doesn't make it for me.

up to "waited for you to invade dreams" flowed well for me, though "I tasted you in mind" started the downfall for me, I suppose. The beginning really needs an ending to make it exceptional, to me, and it doesn't get there.

The tense issues completely keep me out of this.

As for punctuation, I'm a fan of using it grammatically in a poem. Three comes closest, for me.

very odd.

Hmm. 4th stanza did jump out as jerky before noticing your comment, but I don't know how to be helpful. I'm really not understanding what's going on.

s1 -- fun
s2 -- more fun
s3 -- simple, straightforward, but fitting
s4 -- too straightforward in seeming, to me, even though I'm completely not getting line 4; flow seems off, as well, somehow.
s5 -- also not quite fun enough (maybe if you cut 'but alas'). Hmm.

cute, but doesn't manage to climb beyond that for me.

Makes me think of Bush.

boring.

good pustule of a pimple.

This has ome nice images, and a decent sentiment, but some of it is just too hackneyed. Punctuation would definitely help the reader follow what is written, but I don't know if that would really help the poem.

Dude.

You're alive!

I've been wondering what became of you. :) I'm glad you found your way back here. Now why is your email bouncing?

I think you picked a beautiful subject for the form--it really pounds it in. The flow is more awkward than I think it needs to be, and yeah--the spelling issues as noted.
