Unfitting a "man" of his stature.

a sad thing indeed.

quite nice, this.

I think you could loose most of the commas though (not hers) and it would be stronger for it (especially the ones before "and").

A good hook.

you could rather put "hang me on a Mississippi tree" and increase your market share, I think.

I like your name.


rotary phone is a nice touch.

I've been critiqued for my line breaks recently, but some of these give me pause. If no one else says anything then its just me.

Stellah.

nicely done.

gripping to a certain degree - maybe grasping.

Lots of nice symbolism to play with, but I think *maybe* it's a tad long.

and that last sentence needs to go.

See, now that's deep.

With the vocabulary and the big telling that comes from the big words this quickly becomes a tough sell.

Dovina - this is somewhat strange.

it really is.

Cute.

You could have expressed the same idea with less, and the reader would thank you for it.

This reminds me more of an outline or some notes for a poem. Should be distilled quite a bit.

There's some good language in here though it comes off a little choppy'list-like.

How is that fixed? Try, if you want, playing with where the lines end and your preposition use (there are lots of them in here).

Flow and show?

you could almost remove the first word of every line and the thing would be better for it.

I like this one.

less ars, and more poetica, please.

Nice. Original angle on a near cliche.

I had a small amount of trouble picturing a key chain in a wallet (rather than an individual key). Maybe consider doing thing from a purse-wielding perspective?
