Dear Octavio
I’m assuming that this is about soccer or some sport. If it is then I really like how you didn’t straight up say it but instead made hints to it such as ball, pass, and shoot.
One line that stands out for me is You miss and hate will come. This line is intriguing because of how it’s talking about something that should be enjoyable…Read More

Dear Oliver,
I am interested in your poem because of the way you talk about how cars made you happy.I like the lines when you say
“London

I like this line because of how peaceful it sounds. A place of happiness.
I look forward to seeing more of you work.

Dear Oliver,
I was interested in your post because of the photo. I really like the Ford GT.
I am curious about a few lines from your poem. One part of your poem that stands out for me is where you say, “We don’t go in

Thanks for your photo and poem.
