Cozy, beautiful places to curl up with a good book...
I believe Bret is a very good poet. He seems to know what it takes to be a good poet. His rime and rhythm is evenly matched, and he knows how to convey his message in his poem. His poetry is flowing and soothing to the ear. He is one of the best modern poets on this site.
A lovely selection of poems! The silver & gold of of famous wordsmiths - Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Lorca, Whitman & others! 'These fragment have I shored against my ruin...'. thanks

I have read just one and had to leave my applause.
Gratefully looking forward, the honor to read more of your great works........Jim Troy
Easily the best poet on this site.
I literally canvas his poems every day, every single day, and am constantly amazed by his genius. (Yes. Genius.)
Thank you, Rob, for sharing your gift with us. I feel as if I've come to know you through your writings. I look forward to reading more.
