I have to agree with response #1... I was a bit upset that more time wasn't
spent on the eyes, as the eyes (in my opnion) tell the most about somebody..
but after reading the last stanza.... I am left totaly satisfied after
reading this.. well done.

Which question? Why you didn't think of if before? I thought the question
was rhetorical! Besides, was it you're question or Julies?! What's going
on?

I was wondering if you were writing about your own face.

Yup. That's me, in all my imperfect glory.

Cool! Very cool. I like it-- a poetic character study.

Yeah, I got the idea after doing a self portrait... I'm thinking of scanning
a photo of myself and combining the two into a sort of mixed-media thing.

Wow, I just got a message on my phone telling me that his poem had recieved
an Honorable Mention in a poetry contest... National Society of Arts and
Letters? Something like that... out of fifty-eight poems entered. It's the
first poetry competition I've ever won in--they want me to read it at this
reception thing. I'm pretty geeked about it, even if it wasn't first place.
By the way, that mixed media thing I mentioned became item 65, "Forever Jung".

Furthermore, it should be duly noted (as I just learned today) that Dan won
first place... Tell me, mister modesty over there, what poem was it for?

<curses, he blew my cover>
It wz for "Suburban Sestina" - I'm not sure if I've posted it in here or not.
I actually didn't like the poem very much, so I was kind of annoyed that it
won, but I really can't complain... :)

No, I mean I'm annoyed that _it_, rather than the _other_ poem I submitted,
won. If I was going to win, I might as well've won with a poem I liked. But
I'm glad that I won with something at least, so it's all good. Don't hurt
me. :)

Opinion of others does *not* determine the quality of a work.
Seriously, in the arts in general, many great works have been passed
over because there wasn't something there for the public to love.
That's the dilemma of the working artist-- should one work for the
public to make money, or work for one's self?
