Missing

[Keith]

Keith, what I love about your poems are the "atmospherics" of them.  I can't think of a better way to put it now.  When I read your stuff (your best stuff, anyway), they draw me into their atmosphere, as if I've entered a strange place for the first time.  That's a real talent.

In this one, it was "loss", of course.  But you really stuck to your own experiential vision of it, what you were chasing down, and that atmosphere was so prevalent to me, like its very own smell.  

Good stuff.

Hi NN you are very kind to say such things, very happy you enjoyed the poem, I guess I like to read poetry that has a beginning, middle and an end, and something that leaves me as a reader thinking, oh yeh I never thought of it like that, or yes I can see that and I've never seen it before. My would be "better" poems only come about with support and insight from members of the site, such as yourself and for that I am grateful. Thank You Keith
