First, Janny, before I forget, that bio picture you've got up today rocks, girl! You look gorgeous. :-) You worked this one, lady. The repetition is in the groove, perfect for spoken word and it moves the poem to punctuated poignancy. For so many reasons I started to weep on this one. Did you get the webpage I sent you with the song you like and the extra? ~~Nordette

Excellent! The repetition is a metaphor in itself,
isn't it. Canny choice!! You have taken a common theme
and turned it into something extraordinary. In a few
words, at that. MORE!! Phyllis <3
