I remember leaving a comment on this expressive poem, but it seems to have disappeared; still, no problem...I'm lucky to be reading it again, this time as a worthy winner! Congratulations, Sara! ~ Regards // paul

Very moving, Sara. As Charlotte said below, your poem may be interpreted two ways. I tend to feel the same emotion she did. Congratulations on your placement in the contest. Hugs, Sandra

this one was memorable and intrigued me, and i interpret it a bit differently to many - i think it is a request for the sensitive child to be released from the casket of fear that entombs her, rather than a literal burial - very interesting and haunting - congrats on your win in my contest

That last line sure gives you the chills ... I can't help but think it's a funeral viewing. You wrote this brevity with simplicity and skill.
