I bet you'll have 30 good ones; however, only in my case, I can relate to the feeling.

I relate to this. But I think you have more than two good ones.

In response to "Forbears"

This is highly visual in a visionary kind of way & sparked childhood associations to my own childhood thoughts of ancestors. Such beauty & simplicity - complexity too - in that ending line. I love this and I am sorry for your loss.

The Ode to Joy's been marching through my head all day. Thank you for the tribute.

In response to "Tomorrow"

So many subtle Shakespearean nods here!
I love the breaks in the rhythm which add to meaning or cause pause.

In response to "Another Heart"

For me reading this, there was an instant shock over the opening line, for while I know that your son is no longer a child, the simple factual statement of "My son's bearded face." gave me an instant reminder of his relative age! This is effective as you go on to refer to J as twenty-four and also six, which is so clear and moving a description, showing precisely but simply the complex nature of interactions. I memorize his visage is such beautiful phrasing. I love this poem, it touches my heart.

This is so sweet. There's something special about sisters, even when we're so far apart.
