This is so poignant and just plain lovely :)

Only you can write cliches about cliches and make it..not cliche. ;)

"a new author to fill in your heart and
spill color onto the black & white."

Love the imagery here.. though I personally love the vintage black & white. ;) This poem had an entirely different feel than your normal stuff. I really enjoyed the soft/subtle rhyme. I don't know if that was intended, but it left a soft cadence to the poem. Love, love.

Love this too, and the point Britt made about writing about cliches without it being a cliche. The whole concept and idea of him having a new book and author, yet that reminder in the end to not forget who wrote you both first.

Enjoyed reading this!

Very clever and beautifully written.

Yes, fabulous poem. sucks when our poetic internet lovers find someone else.

This is amazing! I love your word choice and the flow of the poem....epic!
