Whaddya know? first post... XD
Very good work on the two new ones, Shari. Sad stories in both, but I liked how the second was also hopeful. I sensed a fair ammount of anger in the first, and I think it's great that you can convery such powerful feelings in a short space. You're definetely one of the most talented people I've seen when it comes to short poems. they flow nicely, and nothing looks forced. Keep writing, even if you pull off my personal "techinique" and blow off an entire night's work to write one poem.

(Yeah, I know... I'm a lazy bum. So sue me.

) Anyways, take care girl, and hang in there. *hugs*
