Hi River – thank you! I’m glad you liked the poem. I wanted it to feel very vivid, almost like a series of paintings. It was difficult to write but I think it turned out well in the end. Thank you for the compliment, and for stopping by. ;)

Thanks, Dianne! I’m glad you liked it. It was interesting to write as like my dream, it’s really just a glimpse into that scene and I knew it would leave a lot of questions unanswered. I wasn’t sure if it would work but I think it helps the poem. In real life no one knows the right answer to these questions, or if there even is one; that’s the problem.

Such a powerful poem, Chris. As I read the piece, I was flooded by numerous questions regarding this dark scene.

Thanks, Patricia. I appreciate your kind words. It was actually quite hard to write; I wanted it to have a simple flow, so the emotion would have more of an impact. I’m glad you liked it.
