| Posted by Glenn Currier on 03/11/11 at 06:31 PM My stanza - #3. I like the way these lines soar. Maybe most of all I love the genius title. It could be a good challenge prompt for us here on pathetic.org. Welcome to the website, James. I am familiar with your work outside of this site and know that you will be a huge asset to our community here. I look forward to many more poems to be posted here. |

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 03/11/11 at 07:42 PM This is a very thoughtful poem, measured in its presentation, the last two lines giving the true strength of this person. Welcome. |
| Posted by George Hoerner on 03/11/11 at 08:30 PM I liked this piece well enough to vote for your joining our club here. I like to think of it as the country club of words although you'll find they do get out-of-sorts here at times. I enjoyed this piece and upon rereading realize it is subjects control of her life that I appreciate. I find I live to close to the abyss to be able to control things that well. As all the above have said, welcome to pathetic. I look forward to more and more. |
| Posted by Laurie Blum on 03/11/11 at 08:49 PM This is just my kind of poem. Short and sweet, yet the images it creates in my minds eye and the emotions the words invoke all come together in a touching piece. Welcome to Pathetic James. |
