Author's Note:
Here are two of my poems - "Crossing The Mackinaw Bridge To Visit An Ill Friend" and "At The Supersaver". The bit of info that would be most helpful to me is simply, which poem makes the biggest impression on you (in a good way). Any further comments or cruitiques are also welcomed and appriciated.

Crossing The Mackinaw Bridge To Visit An Ill Friend
A rusty white van,
Driving over five mile span.
Looking down, wishing.
Two hundred feet below
Tug breaks ice, freighter in tow.
Noon sun is shining.
Looking south, wishing.
Driving over five mile span
In rusty white van.
At The Supersaver
Slipping past the frozen food,
Eyes wide and blank.
Searching for weekly specials
On the way to Nirvana.
A smile is all that's allowed,
Flashed to a cute clerk
Who's too young for morality,
But old enough to stir nostalgia.
I've forgotten what I came for --
Was it love or chocolate milk?
So I slide out unnoticed,
Into the damp of summer's cruel maw.
