Ballad Of The Long-Ago Children Comments

I would like to back up Raynette's comment on your mastery of short lines and nifty rhymes in a narrative piece of writing. I've enjoyed this, Lind. With warmth, Gina.

....very skillful, very clever..

Linda, this is truly a remarkable poem. My hope is that everyone will stick with it to the end so that they can see what it really is all about. It is hard to write a serious poem with short lines and rhymes, but you have done it...'serious humor' I call it. Well done. Raynette
