A Family Divided Comments

Division of families is inevitable when siblings don't get along; certain things can't be helped, really. It's just a matter of things taking their own natural course, like so many other things...

Mary, I have been away for about three years with some health issues and family matters. Before I left, you had written several comments on my poems, but I had not the time or inclination to corespond with you then. Now I find you are out of touch. I like your poem, A Family Divided, very much. You tell a good story, with valid feelings and a worthy mressage. Your rythmic meter, style, and rhyming patterns are akin to what I use. I so looked forward to communicating with you on return to these boards. But now you're gone. But I'll keep looking for you. Meanwhile, I'll take the time to read your wonderfu porms that I overlooked before, all two hundred and some. Frank Gardner

Mary, this is a wonderful poem. You state your feelings so well. I hpe those for who it was intended appreciate as I do.

Dear Mary, the first poem of yours I have read, and it is a stunner. Great write Love from David

Wow, Mary... this is a great poem. The ending exclamated the point brilliantly. Brian

I know where you're coming from. My family was the same. It's too late for me to do anything about it now. Lizzy.

This is a brilliant poem with Insight. I love the tree-image. Susie.

The family division is a natural phenomina. And it must occur to balence the things. Mary Nagy has exposed the realities that should be accepted. The poem is good and easy to understand. Thanks Mary Nagy for sharing your poetry.

Wow..I really liked this one. I know how families being divided can feel like. I thought this was a touching poem. I really loved it Crystal

awesome pwerful analagies, great voice, I particularly like how you slowly brought about the subject rather than directly stating yet still made a very clear picture. neat. Jon

How very sad but something I can certainly identify with...this poem is great due to many things including its honesty, fine flow and sheer emotional impact. Wonderful job, Mary!

Mary reminds me of my own 'family' that has been divided since my Mother died about 15 years ago - well done it says plenty - regards Don S
