Hi Atticus:
Thank you for the compliment as well as the exegisis of "Contradiction". I love your poetry and it is high praise coming from you!
Writing poetry that rhymes doesn't seem, for me anyway, to allow me to express myself as well; free verse comes more easily. In analyzing your poetry I find frequent metaphors, personification, and hyperbole; aspects of poetry I'm familiar with and reading yours has fired up my imagination, including memories that I have dodged for a long time.
I also wanted to mention that when I asked if you were being too hard on yourself in my previous post, I hope I didn't trivialize what you went through or are still going through.
I find that communicating via a computer doesn't always convey the delicacy that one may wish to in person.malthus
