Plot/story elements:

Did I feel attached to the story or poem?

This piece reminds me of that James Blunt song, "You're Beautiful." The idea that we desperately want a chance encounter with some unknown person is seductive and fun.

Would I recommend this piece of writing to someone else?

I think everyone wants to feel connected to idea that they could of done things differently, especially if there's a mysterious person of interest involved.


Was there a clear purpose to it?

It's a fun and fanciful daydream piece of what might have beens.


Glows:

I like that its set to narrative and rhetorical conversation. I love the line about your children frolicking under elms. All that daydream for one chance encounter speaks to the idea that she was the one who got away.


Grows:

It's wonderful.



Miscellaneous Comments:

Sometimes, it's fun to imagine life's alternate destiny. If we had..then...almost like a computer algorithm. I think it's normal to think in those terms sometimes. It's funny though, because the older I get the more I'm disinclined to entertain those thoughts. I guess its because I can't take back some of the choices I made, nor would I want to at this point. Living in regret can be dangerous.
