Epidemic Comments

Wow heartfelt poem. Thanks for sharing this great write.

There is raw emotion in this poem, from the opening lines, pain seeps through your words their power is truly felt. I was not around long enough in the 80s and a child of the 90s, so AIDS epidemic, is a memory, but it still resonates today. I cannot begin to describe the sadness I feel when reading this. Thank you for sharing it, I am glad to read this, more people should.

The harsh truth has spoken. I remember those scary days in '80's and '90's. I was in in Ne York when the movie star died of AIDS. I think it was 1984. Dear poet, I am legally blind but recent mode of recitations help me to listen and feel feelings of regarded poet like you. You penned well. _____++++++10 for you.

A stupid mistake Of not wearing a condom And not filling that prescription When we both lived through The epidemic of the 80's and 90's.. i shall take care of you even through tears. lovely expression of grief.. thanku. tony

A great verse on profound, platonic love. Terrific verse, LeeAnn.
