Ps Aborted

The 
Poorest
Choice in life.








I’m not being judgmental nor commenting on my feedback I’m just clarifying and 
respectfully explaining my view of the poem. I appreciate the feedback, I understand when a 
poem is written everyone relates to it in a different way. One never knows the ramifications 
of a single piece of work. In the epigram form there is not much to work with due to the six 
syllable meter. In my initial thought of ‘Aborted,’ from my creative perspective, was a 
metaphor of aborting a single thought. 
If one aborts a thought, the poem cannot be born into existence, thus no life of words, 
no poetry, nor a beautiful contribution to literature to continue or record our stay in time, 
etc. 
I categorized my poem as life because we abort things daily and that’s a part of life.  I am 
explaining the creative depth of my poem’s entirety.
Yes, life can be aborted along with a thought, or a wonderful opportunity.
When poetry is written it is usually draped in metaphors and similes from the creators vision 
and unique perspective. I hope my explanation shows the depth of a poem goes way deeper 
than its surface... Raul Moreno

made a choice to resolve their mistake and they have suffered so much. My heart goes out to all the mother and the unborn. When you think about it sin is what cause most abortions and the mistake that someone makes is taken care of by eliminating the child. It wasn't the childs fault it was their indiscretion. Have the child and give it up for adoption so many people can't have babies. Anyways It is sad all the way around I pray that I didn't offend anyone with my comments I love you alllll

WOW Raul this is my favorite Epigram. This is one of my favorite poem's ever. You speak Ocean's here. Touching and emotionaland poignant. This is a masterpiece. It creates volumnes of emotion and from my personal feelings everyone will have an opinion. Sadly we all have to someday be judge by Jesus Christ my heavenly father whether you believe or not. S that is your choice to make and suffer the consequences either way. I still pray for those mother's that have abortions I know many that have..

I appreciate your explanation and see your poem in a whole new light. Sorry to have misinterpreted, but as you say, considering it is poetry, and considering the limited number of words in the form, it is easy to do. Love, Shar

first the poem reads with power. I love the directness of the read. I would never want to be a woman and have to make that choice, so I will never judge. Leave that to the almighty. Thank God for choices!
