I have no right to complain when so many others are suffering.
"I THOUGHT I KNEW PAIN" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I thought I knew pain. I did, until I saw it In thousands upon thousands of eyes. ~ I thought I knew pain. I did, until I heard it Wailed in grief stricken cries from the soul. ~ I thought I knew pain. I did, until I saw it Haunting the faces of survivors. ~ I thought I knew pain. I did, until I heard it Told over and over on the news. ~ I thought I knew pain. I did, until I met it. It came up and introduced itself. ~ I thought I knew pain. I did. At one time, I did. I just can't remember when it was... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (C) Copy written, 29 December, 2004, by Karla Dorman.

It is great to be able to read your poetry again Karla!
Well written.
With these few short stanzas you have said so much, Karla!
A most heartfelt tribute for our fellow man! My home country too had been hit, though not in the proportions of those worst hit...latest news I heard some small villages just wiped out, we don't know the exact numbers of dead yet.
Yes, this is a tragedy of mind-boggling proportions, we can't bring back the dead, but hopefully, humanity will learn something from this...
wow this just shows a lovely spirit
the pain that took place is unbelievable
yet to realize it.....
thank you for this...it helps

A sad, yet beautiful reminder to all, Karla.
I see on the CNN headlines that the Tsunami toll is over 115,000.
A terrible, terrible nightmare to endure, indeed.
Karla, I think we can all relate to this write. If theres one that can't, then I'd say it's time to step back and take a very long look at who, or what they really are.
The worst part about all of this is..not only could it happen to any of us..it's quite probable that it will in time.
Thanks Karla for a slap of realism.
I don't want to see you in pain, but listening to Trask and drinking vinegar will make you vomit big time...those folks from CA are always just a bit crazy, LOL! Only kidding Trask! But if you think, Karla, that any of the remedies from him/her will work, more power to ya...
Pain sucks I gotta admit...but maybe it is a way to pay back for our bad karma in the past...Good luck & Happy New Year, Ed & Rufuz
I Hope You Are Drinking Your Vinegar,i.e. (God) Wants You To Be (Even From Pain) Clean Whence You Meet Him Sooner Than You Can Blink,i.e. THINK PAIN...

What powerful, gutwrenching lines. What a powerful, gutwrenching, thought provoking poem! Exceptionally well done; BRAVA! May we never see or hear that kind of pain...
