    Yeah, I agree, this has an aphoristic quality to it.

    The illustrations aren't some gaudy attempt at post-modern thought; they're simple and precisely illustrative. I rather like

    Such a unique presentation and a lovely message within this simple tale. It reminds of a parable. Quite enjoyed it!

    The word 'wellspring' attracted me - paul celan uses it in a way similar to yours. Happy poetry seems right, the message is clear & positive. While I would prefer something dense & difficult, this is an enjoyable read.

    I will annoy you with one more comment(...for today )I just cannot resist the temptation of "saying" something.Each poem of yours manages to grab from me inarticulate thoughts which I'm proud to have experienced,because they are produced by your master way of seducing ART itself.
    You might think I'm a freak (well,you're not the avarage NORMAL either)!Hate me,then!...(at least I'll have something from you )

    This put a big smile on my face. Witty, happy and filled with eternal hope. I read so many sad poems on this site - it's good to read something filled with joy for a change. Very sweet

    brilliant

    I love the moral behind this, and the obvious respect the speaker shows for whoever "you" is. The image of people scrambling to catch whatever innocence and love they can perfectly captures the way most live their lives today. Absoultely astounding.

    Greg, simply put, this is the greatest flippin' thing I think I've ever read. It is by far my favorite poem of yours, and I think it easily rivals anything else I've ever seen on this site. Enter this one in a contest, won't you? Collect your due.

    I am left without anything to say. I'm blown away.

    Awesome

    That was really cool, the way you transform a bubble of innocence into the confusion and lack of innocence today. Than finsih by showing that the innocence we all thought lost is not lost just overlooked in the hustle of daily lives
