This is so far the only piece of poetry that ever spoke to me.

I consider that a high compliment. thank you for the honour! I hope you find more poetry that compels you; I'm in search of some myself.

Great use of the bitsy engine, and the last haiku gave me legit chills.

I really loved this. The dull ache of the audio combined with the twisted organic geometry of the body made the poems' regret's pain come through.

whoa. i like the effect of the "pretty" font juxtaposed with the "ugly" words, and how they both reference the organic. spooky and good.
