Poems In My Mind Comments

Charles, you have touched on a subject that has occupied me much lately. It has to do with writing and having family members see it and be....hurt? ....enraged...disappointed...and so do I let the poem slip away or print it anyhow? What to do? No one can answer for me and your poem shows that I'm not the only one to worry with it. Thanks for this.

Good use of short stripped down lines to put over a poignant message. I firmly believe poetry is an aural medium ad I always read poems out aloud rather than to myself. this poem came out sounding with natural hesitations that emphasised the poem's message that the narrator didn't really know what to do for the best.

Oh I like this. More people should consider how what they write may hurt people. Very thoughtful Charles. Sincerely, Mary
