@ShyNightshade Well, I only read the first 7 or so poems sequentially. After I got a feel for how the collection would be, I danced around it, looking at any titles that drew my attention. While I do think you have a good style and I can see the appeal in your type of poetry, it's not a style I personally read emphatically. It's more of a hit or miss with every piece. You do convey interesting messages, but there isn't too much discern. Though you do use a great deal of extended metaphor, the overall message is usually given fairly straightforwardly through the context of your pieces.
Not that that's a bad thing. It's an appealing style to many...hence the number of reads and votes the work has garnered, and I think it could garner much more, in fact, it would surprise me if it didn't.
In any case, I wish you luck on your quest for reader retention. And perhaps I may stumble across more interesting pieces of your work in the future.
