Misplaced Regret Comments

Sad emotional feelings, well brought in this poem. Like it

Sue, this is incredibly sad. Every word of it could have been said of me at various times in my life (except that I don't remember having danced with my children) , especially at the time of my divorce way back in 1974. It is good to get it all out and the best way is in a poem especially if presented to friends. I found the following line particularly interesting: 'There is no such emotion as guilt it is simply misplaced regret.' I can understand that it is true in the context of the poem, and that is what you meant here, I think. However, I don't know if I would agree with it, if you were generalising. Either way, it is a very interesting thing to ponder over, as I shall be doing.
