Motivating! I like the last two stanzas the most. I realised that it is difficult not to sound prose-like like it happened in two stanzas of this poem and just like what sometimes happens in my case. But I'm not an expert - yet - so my opinion may not really matter. In fact, I do not know if my work qualifies as poetry.

Insightful honesty! From Genesis to..... genesis all over again, with emotions stirred, recreated, quoshed, exacerbated in between, with every tabula rasa. I thought twice on reding 'HAVE' to do it again.. then realised the accuracy of this - the compulsion. Frustrating! Grand. t x

I love this. 'Repudiate memory, right all wrongs' oh yes indeed. If only we could do it for real rather than just in words. Thanks Max Clair

You change the world so often with your fine word combinations. When the heat starts to cool, you faithfully pick up your pen (or keyboard...but I'd imagine you with a pen) a begin to set another flame. Thank you for this one. I like your outlook.

I absolutely LOVE this poem, because it is so the way I feel. Each time I put pen to paper, I just know that I am going to write something that WILL change the world...and they do, just for a little while. What a wonderful thought, however, that we as writers have the power to change the world..if only for a little while. Wonderful poem, one that will inspire me to keep writing. Scarlett
