| Posted by J. P. Davies on 05/25/04 at 04:38 PM This is a great idea for a poem. I think there could be more description in this myself. Before I read your author's note I had no clue what you were talking about. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 05/25/04 at 05:26 PM Your strong mindedness really comes out in this piece. Shows how just a few words can say so much. |

| Posted by Agnes Eva on 05/25/04 at 06:49 PM wow, i had no idea that happened either. this could make a good haibun, if author's note was first, then your poem. |

| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 05/26/04 at 03:59 AM The sentiment expressed packs a strong punch. What's amazing is the word economy. Its impact touches my heart, emotionally, if not experientially. |

| Posted by Anne Engelen on 05/26/04 at 04:29 PM I remember my mom showing them to me (after her surgery, before radiation therapy), and I felt strange, as if she was showing off. I never quite understood her way of dealing with it. (it seemed easier on her than on me).
This little ditty has quite a punch to it! |
