I'm always amazed when a writer conveys a strong image with minimal words. The point of a haiku, I know, but many writers fail miserably with haiku (shortest form of poetry I know). This, this is amazing.

Glad I could have such an effect! I really like this poem. It's my favorite of the ones of yours I've read (which are more than I've commented on).
I'm careful about my commenting, because I well know how sensitive some writers and artists are. Thus, if I have much bad to say (normally my "bad" is what I consider to be helpful. Others do not often see it as such), or have not been truly moved by a piece, I probably won't comment on it.

I don't feel that I'm sensitive to critique as such. If it helps my writing get better I'm all for it. The only way I'd get upset about comments is if someone was to come up and just say 'Crap' without telling me why.
