Hail the Word Smith has arrived
and his name is Harris!
I feel quite fortunate this morning that I can see how unique your writing style is. I'm pleasantly surprised and elated to read poetry that is so rich with vocabular that it begs the reader to use their vocabular minds and think a little to the left, instead of the right ways of reading and writing. Thank you once more.
I have just officially become a fan of your style. You should call it: The Matthew Harris Technique in writing poetry. Sounds good, doesn't it?
Thanks again.
I'm enjoying the poetic journey, with you!

Hello Matthew,
I’m more impressed than ever before of your unique style for writing and for communicating. I misspell most of my words, which is embarrassing. Something I need to work on.
We all have our unique style, but your style is in a word extraordinarily unique. I’ve never read anyone’s poetry that resembles your style, it’s the vocabular and the linking of thoughts throughout your entire poem that beckons to be read and understood.
There are a lot of fantastic writers on this website, I hope to get to know each author here, to learn their language, and to fully absorb the artist work that goes into writing a new piece.
Thankful, I have found your poetry. A kindred soul. I will keep working on building my vocabular.
Enjoy your day with new words and connections.
Thank you for writing the poem and for your most intelligent replies.
Within these lines, I could feel the torment that mental illness causes on a person's life. I can also see growth, intelligence, a high eye que and hope for tomorrow. Your writing never ceases to amaze me. Great work as always.
I'm a huge fan!!!
