Comment from C. Gale Burnett
Shirley, there you go reading my mind (LOL).
Your first stanza was outstanding. I feel we have time to contemplate more as we age and question/confront the 'whys' and 'hows' of the negative thoughts of our youth. You expressed this exceptionally well in this stanza.
I love the easy flow of rhyme and rhythm, each line of your poem being exactly 8 syllables.
So well illustrated. Love the photo.
Take care dear lady and blessings to you.

This is a poem of strength and grace. It seems to tell of healing from child abuse. Writing does help is cathartic and helps with healing.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Comment from Pantygynt
The unity of this poem is provided by the unwavering iambic tetrameter. The rhyme scheme is variable, couplets in the first stanza, assonant throughout in both the second and fourth, story rhyme in the third and aaba in the fifth.
There is no requirement for there to be a unity of rhyme although it is frequently found, and the lack of it here did not jar with me at all.

Thank you.
I appreciate your time and review.
I've been off site a lot over the last year and hence neglected my poetry.
I'm probably a little rusty.
So glad you enjoyed it and it was very therapeutic for me.
Blessings
Shirley
