we live
       in frozen moments
              strewn about a room
in seconds of dashing debonair
       and graceful airs
pose
       romantic prose
              letters they'll never see
captured
       like fish in a net
              for someone to pick up
                     and set free
a bottled somethingness
       in a sea of ambience
pose
This is an older poem (from 1999) that I'd like some feedback on. It's one of those poems that, for a while, I sneered at... but recent commentary on it's lead me to think that I'm being too self-critical, perhaps.

Again the usage of words is amazing. It reminded of an extended Haiku if you will.
