Jessica,

Surrender

I think the use of the word 'seduce' in this poem really makes it clear what the poem is about. The whole poem flows and slithers through the words in a very seductive way. I also get a bit of an anxious undertone here. Like you are unsure if your efforts are enough. But at the end you make it clear that you are not overly eager, and that you are 'not trying to compete.' The poem does an overall good job of setting this flirtatious tone that stays with you after reading. The only suggestion would be to be a bit more descriptive with your wording.

Obscure

Again, this poem set a tone very much like the previous one, though with this one I sense a little more mystery. It feels almost as if this could be exact dialogue going on in your mind. your watching, and hoping that this person will notice. Almost as if you wish this person could read your thoughts, so you wont have to go through the anxiety of verbalizing them. I enjoy the structure of your poems, and you're certainly not afraid to let your intentions be known. Only suggestion is to maybe expand on this idea. Make the poem longer and plunge a little deeper into these thoughts.

-Matt
