This is great! I am so tired of poets who rely on dictionaries and write random verse with no rhyme or reason. This is what it's about. Compact, yet it says so very much. For those who do not read poetry, read slow, you'll find layer upon layer of meaning. This is what i think poetry is about. Marcia, I appreciate your review of my poem Elusive Embrace. I stopped writing poetry many years ago and what I have posted comes from a single collection written in my teens.
GREAT JOB! Universal appeal and very moving.
