Short and unwieldy. It had some good words but nothing that could make this poem truly great. It just seemed like an afterthought. A blurb.

This is awesome. Now if someone had told me a week ago that I'd review a four line poem and call it awesome I would likely have called them a liar, but it is. Very evocative and haunting in and of itself.

Short and sweet and simply put. I hear those whispers, as well.

I find the word "take" to be a little lacking -- I'm sure you can find a more powerful word to use here. Perhaps, "inhabit", "torment", "invade".

If I had any of my six stars left, you would definitely get one for this. Such a lot of beauty in so few lines! The subtlety of the image is outstanding. Wonderful job.

This is compelling by itself, but your introduction really poses the challenge this little piece deserves. I think it can mean something different to everyone who reads it, and I think you intended it that way. I took it as a relationship that is fairly (red) "hot" at the moment!

Please, sir, I want MORE!! Hee hee.

I like this. Short and sweet and compelling. It *just* barely suggests it's going to tell you everything, then doesn't, leaving you to ponder. Good stuff.

You rock, australia!!

The essence of insomnia runs through these words...the use of key words to reach into the reader's emotions etc...the only thing I want to ask more from myself at the mo, is more sleep!

So understanding the depth of this poem is easily done. Ghosts of love extend beyond those of romantic themes.
