I agree with you, Lisa, about punctuating poetry. I, myself though, know very little about it. I have been told that it 'disrupted the flow' and 'made it harder to read' on one of my poems. I couldn't really agree with the 'harder to read' part but as I looked again I did wind up editing the piece and left out some of the punctuation. I think sometimes that I am just guessing at the particular punctuation that I choose for my stuff. I find, now, that I am trying to find a happy medium. I thank you for your input in the authors newsletter that led me to this piece.
I don't think I am actually qualified to rate your work, as I just don't get the particular style this piece is written in. It is, however, very moving at the end! Very deep, very heavy and my heart goes out to you for having to live through such situations that would cause you to reject her on her death bed. She was dying of cancer, right?
