Hey, don't you dare feel that way, Shambhawi! I won't let you, this is too good! *friendly but serious*

I wish I could write that well. I love it! I'm really wishing there was more, in fact; I feel like I'm following a will-o'-the-wisp off a cliff, happily reading along only to reach the end and fall. I can't wait to see what you post next!

It's short, dark, and vivid, exactly how I like them. Well done, Shambhawi!!!

That is beautiful, Shambhawi! It just kind of flows; whenever I try to write poetry, it sounds all jumbled and broken up, but you've obviously figured something out that I haven't. Must... have... more...

*goes to read it again*

Haha, you'd think I'm addicted to writer's block, if you knew how much I got it. I'm sorry it's gotten you, though. Would it help to know that your writing is being loved? Because it is. It really, really is...
