Yes! this is just how I like it =D

I love this. But if you're feeling generous, could you explain how love factors in this poem? Luminous word play.

I would like to know Isabelle's opinion before I comment.  Then I will agree like a good dog

love is an after-sex cigarette? ( sardonic )
It matters not. It's gorgeous

love is an after-sex cigarette? i'm sorry I don't understand ( (portrait of innocence) )
I adored the poem too.

I find the phrasing in line 1 absolutely tragically good.  I have my own vision of it in my head now.  I'm not convinced about lines 2-3 as truth but they are well-written and nicely presented.

I'd love to know precisely what vision.
 — unknown

it's good to know what you're agreeing with, I find.

Sheesh, I didin't think my poem was very good.  Then again, I can never judge my own work that well.  Thanks for the comments everyone.
