"The sweet unknown"
This poem is very sweet. I love the imagery of the coast and the horizon in the first few lines. I like the way he italicizes some of the words to add emphasis. The only thing I didn't particularly like about this poem was the repetition of "of the sweet unknown". Maybe he should take out the free-standing lines? Still, a very good poem overall.
"I miss you like the sun misses the moon"
Another very sweet, romantic poem. I like this one tremendously. The italics and dashes were perfectly placed, though I think the last two lines should be more even instead of the next-to-last line being so long. I love the metaphor of two people in love missing each other. I also like how he suggests that it would be more appropriate if his lover were the land and he were the sea, or if his lover were the soil and he were the tree. This poem is amazing!
