Hi HG! This free verse of yours comes across as very powerful to me--very well done---we should all be supporting each other and what I love about it here is that Poetry is so much alive--it is a shame if we don't acknowledge these pieces of poets' souls laid out here for everyone to see...I am all for constructive criticism I think it adds fuel to the poet's soul! --nikko :)
