Freddie Robinson Jr. January 4, 2017 at 7:57 AM Just a so cool poem, John. Wow! The fragmented structuring is so creative, to me it symbolizes a broken relationship. Don't know if that was how you wanted it to appear as, but Anywho ... this is one fantastic and creative poem w/a real meaningful message. Hats off to you. Going in my fave. Will anxiously look forward to reading more of your work. Happy New Year. May love light your path always. Romantic Warrior
