Leaves Falling

I'm coming way back here to tell you this: Susan, congrats on the HM you just got on that other poem. It really is one of your best poems and I'm surprised it has not done better in contests. I have a poem like that too.I have two poems that I keep putting in contests and still they don't win. Not even HM and yet many people are telling me they really like those poems. In fact, both have been faved by other poets!! It is very weird!

The mystery of rhyme paints this picture so well.

A nice metaphor here! Did you mean a lover or husband who has a "side" intrest? That is what I assume it means. Let me know if I am correct. Yours Matthew Anish

this is awesome with so much emotion and power behind your lines.. loved it cory

one word..powerful..Susan.. such emotion...and many have experience this same scenario luv.. excellent piece ...

Soup Mail!!!!!!

aww, thank you very much, Susan! That is so sweet of you!! Eeep! I suppose that I was emoting a tad too much in that poem? I don't exactly feel that way, maybe just a small part, on some occasions... It completely slipped my mind that the contest was supposed to be about what kind of stone I think I am?? Oops! The idea of that write had been there way before, when I was suddenly reminded of some instances & compared those times to being a stepping stone...hugs to you for your sweet thoughts :)

Those last two lines tied this piece so well, Susan! Ouch! How I hope this isn't based on real life, though-- this sure leaves (pun Not intended!) such an impact!

Very powerful piece, Susan. Hope it's just a poem, not based on experience.

ps. I really liked the poem too.

gosh,what is THIS all about, sweetie??? well, I did not get nearly enough done that i had hoped this morning. And now I have to get out the door. See ya later!! andrea

And he probably thought he could hide all this from you, Susan. The sense of betrayal is captured so creatively in your last two lines. Excellent rhyme, Susan. As for that lawyer, I threatened to write a book about her. Everything in that poem was true. She was ordering shoes online while my hearing was underway. Thaks for reading it. Love, Carolyn

Very unique and expressive. A lot was said in a few words.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful poetry today Susan. I enjoyed reading it and will be back again soon to read more. Love, Carol

oops that would hurt badly! well depicted, Susan. Hope it is only in the poetry. As Nette says "smitten".
