Haiku's aren't usually my thing, but I liked this one. Great imagery. Good job!
Oooohh I really like this one!! Being so short, haiku's rarely get me contemplating but this one was very thought provoking. Love the "thousand eye pairs" visual. Great job!!
Regligious based writing is always controversial... religion, money and politics... three topics that you will never be able to please everyone no matter what you write. It's brave to choose a topic knowing that debate is going to happen. There are quite a few grammatical errors... punctuation and capitalizing the two big repetitive ones.
I was completely in agreement when I first started reading... I've been wanting a tattoo forever, but just haven't been able to decide on something that I want to put on my body that will be there forever. Like you, I want something that is important, not just random body art. After reading your story, I'm not sure that I will ever find something that can hold as much meaning as "starry night" does for you. I for sure want to see a picture of the completed tattoo... it sounds like it will be ...

I applaud how you are able to write your feelings so honestly. It seems like you have been indulging in some self discovery. Maybe this should be a good time for you to really take a good look at yourself, your beliefs, fears, etc... change things you don't like or at least find a way to accept the things you aren't willing to change. I love that you are sensing your own empowerment... that you have more money now that you aren't supporting him.. Ha Ha!! The still talking to him didn't really...
Clever... but it requires a lot of work from the reader or in this case the reviewer. I think on a smaller scale this could be really fun, but even a paragraph seems to be too much. For me most of the actual content is lost while my brain concentrates on reversing.
I understand the sentiment that you are trying to get across, but it's a common theme so it can be a little tricky to work in a new or imaginative way. The format doesn't make it instantly recognizable as a poem and although a strict format isn't necessary... without one the poem relies more on the words working together. There needs to be a stronger cadence, the words don't move together for me. It seems a little disjointed. I think that you need more journey description or more vivid imager...
Having every word capitalized was distracting for me, but that's just my personal choice.
Good job, I liked it and the message came through well. In the fourth line, my brain keeps trying to finish the old sentiment and add 'from the tree'... but maybe that's just me. I like the flow of the questions... but you might try writing them in a similar way. am i fooling myself? am i that different from them? Good job overall.

I liked this, a lot actually. I thought the context was good, thought it was well written and had good imagery. I have only a few suggestions... all of which could just be my own personal preferences. The ending did seem a little off... I got a little lost. There is obviously some typo with the double 'of', but the problem for me is I can't really work out what is was supposed to be... 'off' still doesn't leave with me with a clear picture of what happened. Either draw it out a few lines and ...
