	Lainey	What a novel idea for images! This is so well done, the flow of that poem and its message of loss and need and pain are amazing. Loved it Elaine   Posted by Lainey on April 22, 2007 - Sunday - 4:46 PM [Reply to this]

	pl8_ime!	wow, jon, this one is SO felt!  i have always associated pawn shops with sadness, giving up, and desperation.  your poem takes those associations AND love lost,  and combines them into a vivid poetic painting.  i especially feel the line, "I've got a hole in my heart, so I sold my dreams Now when I sleep, there's nowhere left to go." thank you for sharing.  stay in touch...   Posted by pl8_ime! on April 22, 2007 - Sunday - 5:15 PM [Reply to this]

Im working for a couple lit mags here in Colorado, you should submit some stuff. Let me know and I'll send you the addresses and info.  Nice to hear from you.   Posted by Juice on April 27, 2007 - Friday - 7:48 AM [Reply to this]
