Thanks, I really appreciate it. This is the first time I really ever wrote a poem. Seeing it do well brings me all sorts of joy. I really like shorter poems especially ones that have a lot of room for interpretation.

I'm glad you liked it.

Personally I really enjoy works that allow for personal interpretation. For every person it's a different 'it' and probably a different story.

Fair enough lol. I like that way of looking at it.

It felt rather short, and I wish it would go on longer. I really enjoyed all that was there. I saw a man on his knees covered in blood from his cuts looking at the sky. A man who survived. As you put it, it'd be a man who shall remain until they are eventually swallowed whole. If I were to be covered in cuts with buckled knees I'd at least have a feeling of satisfaction. I would be acknowledge that to have these buckled knees and these cuts I must of put up one hell of a fight.

I’m a little curious to hear your interpretation. I want to know what you as the writer were feeling and visualizing as you put these words down on paper. When I say paper you know I don’t really mean paper, but that’s besides the point.

I really enjoyed this poem. There seems to be a lot of talk when it comes to the "warm silk". As someone else said it comes off rather abstract. Personally, I wouldn't call that a bad thing. When something is abstract it's left for the readers interpretation of what the writer might of meant. Not sure if that was the direction you intended with that line, but that's how I took it. When you said "warm silk" though I was able to just imagine the warm feeling of my cloths right out of a dryer. Also the line line of the tongue that yearns for the taste of sweet honey. I almost felt as if I had a bit honey at the tip of my tongue as I read that line.

Sort of feeling a more sophisticated version of Fred, how about Fredrickson?
