i guess adeline doesn't know you the way i know you vanessa. BUT it could have been a granddaughter perhaps. i like it. i don't understand the wording of: And how she couldn't justify i 'love': Bombardments of infractions.....a great line! i suspect that the line: But I least can hold my head up high is meant to read But at least I can hold my head up high am i correct? or is it an english way of saying what i believe you mean? the way you wrote it sounds as though you are very unable to hold your head up high/be comfortable with yourself; i don't THINK that is what you mean. IS it? thanks for sharing. bri

All the way through I thought it would end up a grand-daughter or so. Sort-of let me down. Adeline

A great poem that tells the tale with much emotion, that comes through to the reader very strongly. This had some nice flow and again was a pleasure to read. I too am a lover of rhymes. Kind regards

This is a real poem and excellently written. The idea flows and the phases of the 'story' is correctly sequenced, though the theme is sad it is effectively conveyed. I say you do write like an artist! 10+++++++! ! ! ! ! ! !
