This message makes one want to reach out to you in full arms to embrace your hurt. To come along beside you , just tell you that a friend is near, a friend quite dear. See what poetry does for some, you have nearly - no certainly - raised a tear. Your writing companion( this was quite good), Sincerely, Don

Don, when my poetry reaches out like that, THAT is THE most special thing. More than 10 stars!!! So glad this reached your heart. Certainly makes writing so worthwhile. Glad you're on your 30 day poetry binge! HA! Cool idea. Thanks again for your wonderful review and very kind comments. With warmest regards, Sue

Hi, Sue
Not easy ta write in AABB and not appear forces at times. INHO you've succeeded in bundles with the bonus of the odd internal rhyme. Great medical metaphors for past hurts now re-visited. Now unsure where ta go (like most of us on here prob. ;-)) in your self-analysis. You're sure not alone. Terrific meter and a smooth if sad read.Ray xx

Hello my dear Mentor. Again, when you give compliments like this on my work, I just beam! See?? Grinning from ear to ear and ALL teeth! LOL!! Glad you liked that bit of internal rhyme. I've been working on that a bit. What's so odd is that when I'm feeling my best (like now), I can write the most depressing work better. Go figure. Thanks for your great review! Sue :-))

Your flowing rhyme and meter are exemplary and a pleasure to read. the content reflects a common experience with intropection. Overall, you push me for a six here but not quite. Slainte, rhymer1

I'm a bad critic of poetry mainly because I can't seem to find anything to criticize. I found your poem to be an enjoyable read. Thank you for allowing me to review it.

Comment from fayesh
A beautifully done quatrain poem of self-analysis and internal conflict between the past and the present and, oftentimes, the intersection that might occur.

Comment from Jazh
This is a very powerful and honest poem. I could really relate to it as well. You have described the way that past wounds can haunt as scars. "How past and present intertwined" - yes, they are, but only to some extent. And bearing pain is not weakness. Great poem. :)

Comment from foxtale
exposed a fraud.
this is a universal unspoken fear. So many of us have this about a hurt we've buried. You struck a nerve. that's what good poetry does!
I blasted in an e-mail the other day when a veiled racial joke was used.
Only later did I realize I was really mourning my long gone brother, a 'retard' ridiculed by many of these same people.
My fraud; I've tolerated them too many years, when I know really how small they are.
So I'll sort my email addresses and toss out the trash.

Wow. Thanks for sharing your very deep feelings here. You are right. "fraud" is a universal unspoken fear. Good for you that you got rid of your own hurt!! Getting rid of toxic people is a great feat! Very sorry about your brother. I have a child with autism. Very painful, indeed. Thank you so much for your very generous review and for sharing. With regards, Sue
