Judy - what a profound piece of work - you are so talented - death is indeed a hard subject to talk about - I also experienced profound loss as a child with the loss of both of my parents by the time I was 6 - I often wrote about other things in my life that were sad, but never about grief and about life and living it to its fullest - you are truly an inspiration = and I commend you on the work that you did professionally = it takes a special person to do that
To a Judy - from a Judy - happy birthday and kudos on being a moderator of this wonderful site - I loved this poem - your description of your hands throughout the course of your life is eloquent, capturing the great things that you accomplished with your life - you must be a great grandmother, mother, wife and daughter along with an accomplished writer.
I was very intrigued by your poem - I did not quite understand it until I read your author's notes, at which point the poem seemed to fall into place. I liked the rhythm of the poem, something I am trying to learn to incorporate into my own work. It is hard as a novice for me to offer critique, but I would say that that the explanation that you have at the end of the poem should be at the beginning - I would love to read the new poem that you have revised.
I did not know that you could take great photos too - I hate to sound stupid, but which memorial is this (what city is it) - the poem is sensational, hitting the chord that touches us all - the committment that our men make when they fight for our country - I think that now in 2008, where Iraq is on the top of many minds, this poem is even more profound. You are truly a talented poet.
What a great poem - being able to remember an event from your teenage years is cool - being able to put into synchronized poetry is even better - Your rhythm in this poem is fantastic, and it makes the poem flow so beautifully - I can not wait to read more of your work
I loved this poem - having just jumpstarted my poetry 'career', I have been looking for inspiration on how to write the perfect poem - and alas, I have found so much from this one - your description of your love that won't be returned is unfortunately a common theme, and certainly one that I identify with (as can be seen in my initial poem) - I hope to learn more from you, seeing that you have an extraordinary talent.
I loved this article immensely - and more than that there was a sympathy for the protagonist Jo - you could feel his pain - sadness and humor are often parallels, even though they they are opposite - when Jo identified with the ostracised girl you felt his own childhood pain - and you felt that he was giving her hope, despite the fact that the other children felt differently
This was sensational - compelling and terrifying at the same time - you felt for John - and you were scared with him as he had his dream. The reason behind Shiela's death was mysterious and scary, and on the other hand the fact that she said that she died pregnant was moving and brought tears to my eyes
I really enjoyed this writing - your descriptions of all of the individuals is very specific - you do not make anybody seem like a 'fread', though you claim some are different - your warm heart resonates throughout your writings - you make each person seem special and unique
