Little Gossip by Sonja James

Julie: This poem isn't incompetent or anything, I just didn't much like it. It doesn't resonate with me.

Blackberries by Mathias Svalina

Julie: Gosh there's a lot to love, here. Dense sonics and imagery, repetition, intrigue. It might be a little too long. A shorter poem can dazzle and meaning isn't as important. But I enjoyed it.
