Notes About The Poem

Louisiana Poetry

She said,
"Darkness bores my soul"
Give me 
the bright 
the light
the white
But 
I don't think that's right. 
I've written poetry that was beautiful.  
in a hurricane by flashlight...

Dear Sam, I adore the multi-layers of thoughts and feelings that cascaded through my mind as I read and re-read your poem. A wonderful poem to linger over to savor the nuances. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

I didn’t write during hurricane Hugo as I was too busy breastfeeding
