This is quite an exceptional poem, June, and for several very good reasons. I liked the simplicity it was written in-simple and direct words, many posed as questions. It's an effective technique. I also admired the clever use of repetition in it, for I am a strong beliver in the power of repetition in poetry myself. It begins as a conversation between two apparent lovers, but quickly is dominated by one person who gently asks probing questions and that one last and vital question is left for the reader to decide what the answer was-another example of excellent technique, June. This is really a very lovely and fascinating poem and a lot of people who passed this one by don't know what fools they were! Carl.
