Sorry that this reply is so belated - I had a sudden rush of classwork all due today, and it made me want to cry, so most of last night and today was spent on that. Done now, though, so I have another two weeks of relative peace now.
I did find the poem, and I liked it a lot. I'd never read it before, though I'd read some of his other stuff. My background in literature, poetry especially, is very spotty, because it's not much studied here anymore, and I went through school rather quickly, so ended up maybe not knowing everything that I should. (Though I maintain that this is as much the fault of the school as it is me, since they're the ones who made me spend hours learning the names for various muscle groups and things that I will never ever need to know.) Um. Moving on. Sorry.
I don't think you write bad poetry. I'd really like to see it. *hugs*
You're very dear, hon. I posted a few poems and an original fic that I'm writing with a friend of mine in my journal. Along with giving the notorious ninja monkey haiku porn its own post, because I'm all about the friendslist spam tonight, apparently.
As for the pictures, I have to ask a friend if I can use his scanner. He doesn't mind, it's just that it will take a bit longer. I'll put them up in my journal then. I won't forget. But it make take a few days.
Oh, don't worry about it, hon. Don't go out of your way on my account. There has to be a copy of it on the net somewhere, wouldn't you think? What's the photo of? I'll try and find it tomorrow evening. . .
I hope you like the other poems and stories too. I think that's almost all of my finished work at the moment. The stuff I produced more than two years ago is awful. Maybe not in content but language-wise. I chose English to be my language of writing although I wasn't that fit. I feel much more confident now.
You know, I said this to myheadgames the other day, but it holds true for you as well: I always forget that you're not a native English speaker, because your grasp of the language, at least in its written form, is generally better than the majority of (native, and especially American) English-speakers one runs across on the internet. So go with the confidence! Yay! Confidence! Because you're good.
