It is amazing how the unsaid is so intense. Your poem is just that intense. Best of luck in the contest, and thanks for your comment on my poem, Something to Tell

This has happened to me on occasions where I would be working on something to post and find one so similiar that had been posted that morning. It is uncanny how this happens to people on soup. Great entry piece. Good luck. Keep the creative pen flowing. (You and Carrie what I was talking about.) Sara
