Anonymous asked: 8391: I gave it a 6. It felt like you weren't as passionate about this one, Still 1000x better than I could ever write but compared to your other poems I found it to be not as colorful in its wording. I don't mean this as all negative, you write beautifully by nature, and I enjoy all your poems. I just felt like this was weaker than some of your more recent stuff...

Thanks for offering this commentary! I don’t get it very often. If you have specific examples about the wording that you found to be lacking, I’d be happy to hear them out.

Also, I definitely agree that my performance was not the best last night. I hadn’t practiced at all (since last Thursday) and it showed. Do you think that that may have impacted your impression of the poem over all? I could easily post another video of the same poem for comparison. :)
