    I love this concept of "long-legged." It's a fresh image that packs a punch. After looking at a few of your other poems, it seems like they read like song lyrics. Do you tend to set them to music? It's interesting thinking about how that could alter the flow of a poem.

    Some of the images in this poem are a little unclear to me - they sound nice, but I can't figure out what they mean. It's not your job to enlighten everyone, though.

    The last two phrases are the strongest, fitting with the tone of the whole poem, and a fabulous way to end.

    Thank you so much for your words.
    And it's interesting that you compared my poems to song lyrics...
    I actually sing and play the guitar,
    but for some reason i can't put my poems into melodies..
    but I love writting poems, singing, and playing the guitar.
    And I understand exactly what you mean.
    Sometimes I go back to my oldest poems, and I ask myself "what does this mean?"
    I cant remember why I wrote some of them, and what inspired me-- but they meant something when they were written =)
    Thank you so much for your kind words.
