A Season Of Neglect (Revised) Comments

John, after thinking over your comments I added another stanza which clarifies the theme of this poem

i enjoy your poetry..please keep posting

What I like here is that you use direct language that isn't burdened by artificial poetry, but the notion of 'neglect' needs to somehow reflect the human condition at a deeper level to make the poem come alive and mean something to your reader. Flip the ending maybe and make the damage darker, is an idea.
