This is just so perfectly put together. Not straight away obvious, it unravels slowly to tell a story that although the subject is quite streamline, we all understand tgat moment of solitude despair and tears falling unnoticed to dissolve on cold concrete. An inspiring write, at the level that you have achieved I found myself querying the significance of November :) Thank you... Karen

This poem reminded me of my first day in school, and my phobia for math problems that made me sick in my stomach. It is very natural in the way it was written and the words effectively bring out the picture in the reader's mind. Wonderful!
