I don't generally read poetry beyond well known poets; Frost, Poe, Dante. And rarely do I read them. So, I don't claim any understanding of poetry. I never aim to weave anything poetic into my stories. <br><br>I write how I write. I edit to make certain I can read aloud without difficulty. Is there poetry? All I hear is story. Thanks, Mark.

I'm curious as to whether you also write poetry? Also, I like the whole concept of this story. As I began reading I was reminded – pleasantly – of the only other story of yours that I've read.

Very poignant. Funny how death has a way of changing the story for everybody affected. This is the first story i've read of yours – it is very beautiful indeed. Very poignant.

I love how you made him into a metaphor, and how he felt such a great burden. Nicely done. Great character, the giant. I love how you made him into a metaphor, and how he felt such a great burden.
