Notes About The Poem

Quandary

What's a mother to do now?
Monster of a dilemma.
Shield or give up young son for
Fatal hit and run?

Wow Edward! It's the moral quagmires and the quandaries they produce that keep us up at night! Your four lines are like a gut punch to ethical and moral decisions. Well done my friend! Congratulations!

Wow, that's quite a dilemma. I'm sure some mother has faced it, but it doesn't make it any less a fearful situation.

Such a dilemma in your powerful piece Edward. Between a rock and a hard place and a situation that questions the value of loyalty. For me, the only way round the problem would be through it. A very thoughtful poem. Cheers - Gary
