This is great Laurie!! Really original and a great flow with an even greater message. I like how the poem's form really illustrates what you're saying... the "drifting" is looser and as the poem gets to the end, the foundation is more solid... so very cool and creative, and makes the point perfectly. I loved it! Love, Amy :)
