Oh, Wow. potent stuff. Again, the poet paints vivid pictures. I'm not good at reviewing poetry, but love to read it. This particular one has some of the meter and rhythm of a sonnet. You show power in a turn of phrase that catches the reader right in the gut (excuse the term). I like your work. I still want to see something in a lighter vein. If you can do so much with such emotional material I know you could do lighter, Tears and laughter aren't that far apart. Now I'd like to see something that makes me laugh. Or chuckle. Or at least grin. Good Work!
StoryMaster: Surfing the site and learning New things every day. Thank you. Thank you. I'm just learning--getting more savvy every day. All is difficult for the old blind woman, but the site is pleasure-filled for me. Can't keep up with all the goodies and newsletters and Wonderful Reading! Thanks, again.
Sparse language very effective. Sounds like poet is writing from the heart, personal experience; the mark of a true poet. It's too, too sad. Made me stop and think about myself. I like poetry that makes me look inward, and this is very effective at doing that. The beginning and ending were strongest lines. The middle was a little weaker. Author has a good voice. This reviewer will look for more by her. Maybe something a little lighter.
