| Posted by George Hoerner on 09/24/07 at 01:42 AM Absolutely wonderful! We always take care of ourselves first regardless of what we think we are doing. I tend to think it is like breathing. That is hard to give up so someone else can do it. Great write lady! |

| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 09/25/07 at 09:32 PM Hi Rula....love this. Especially, that last stanza. Seems so many would hold being sorry against us....as if it were not enough. Thanks. |

| Posted by Laura Doom on 12/21/07 at 07:15 PM I missed this during my recess...both fascinating and welcome, to encounter the root state of 'wretchedness' in contrast with contemporary gesture of apology, along with all manna of linguistic polemics. I prize this gift of consolation :> Yes, missing the rules of the game... |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 06/11/10 at 01:40 PM would you allow me to leave this one word to describe this poem, Beautiful, and yet Beautiful is not enough to describe this poem but I would add the complement to go along which is to say I find this poem Deep as well in all the right places in which my eyes were intending to dive in and not bump their brows. |
