Echoes Of Ridicule Comments

how did you become a free spirit, i wonder. hmm? bri :) ;)

ok, i'm in a hurry to add poems to Feb.2017 Section B, so even though my earlier comment showed my uncertainty about this poem, i NOW shall use it. thanks. and good for you turning around bad habits endured in a previous generation. i'll let the readers decide, if anyone reads it. i hope they do. bri :)

after reading the poem and topic of the poem, i thought you may have been recalling your abused childhood. well, maybe not YOU. but at the last stanza, especially its second line, i hesitated, uncertain. are you saying things will be different between 'you' and 'your' child; you (or whoever the speaker is) has broken away from the abuses you suffered and shall not cause the same harm to befall your child? ? if this were more clear to me, i'd put it in the August showcase, but let me look at others. bri :)
