Hi again Susan :D Yes, those photos of missing persons really make me wonder and hope for the best for them and their families-- congrats on your win for this write and also on your other poems-- I think your repeating line of "grainy photos" is effective--as for your question about PFT, I do receive comments from non-Soup people...I hope that it is the same with you?

Enjoyed reading this one..Yes, I used to see those photos in Wal-Mart..I have never ever seen a child that I thought might fit one of the children though...Great topic on which to write..If for a contest, reads like a winner to me..Thanks for stopping by, reading, and commenting on my work..The poem "Fib" is written in a form that I found called "Fib"..It is about telling a fib and how it grows First one lie then another and another..Sara

Hello Susan, thank you for your comment on my poem My Boys. The answer is no I do not have twin boys. I only had girls and no twins there either. Love, Carol
