Ah, this was wonderful. I love it when poetry has a physical form. People don't do that very often, it's kind of refreshing. And the message, of course, is also very powerful. It's true, regardless of color or any kind of association, everyone is really just "hunting" each other in some form. Again, nicely done.

I like the way the format alone already tells a story. Also, I find this poem pretty vague with so many different interpretations to come up with. You've played with words and space effectively and beautifully.

Keep Writing. ^___^

This reminds me so much of an e.e. cummings poem! And I like how the last two lines set the mood of the piece. The words are very elegantly placed.

I love this. This can be interpreted in so many different ways (My personal interpretation that nothing in life is straight forward and you have to struggle through the large negative of confusion of life to stay alive) . I love the imagery you use as well. Awesome write

Wow, this is really deep and the fact that you don't use many words makes it that much deeper. The weight you place on your words is amazing; it's tough to write short poems and have them both be really effective and really affect the reader. All of your poems that I've read are well written and each word is chosen so carefully. I'm becoming a big fan =)

I found the form interesting and it works in a strange and simple way it is still deep .

Of course you didn't mean to say "or white", as someone else suggested. :) The reader can add it for themselves, or not add it. It adds a mystique to the poem, obviously with intent. There are no misplaced or thrown-in words. Wonderful work.
