i was invited to this site by a freind (Ted Watkins) he wanted to know my opion on some of the work, one being your piece. if you dont mind, i have a couple thoughts on this poem...

1. congrats you are one of the few who can write more then 3 STANZA'S!!! why do people feel the need to stop after filling half a page?

2. you keep a constant ryhme scheme for most of the poem, that is always good, a lot of people stopped doing that too, grrrr...but you did a good job!

3. one phrase that comes up every time some one post a poem like this at Teds site (voypoet.hopto.org, i will plug it if ted doesnt!) is how sad it is that it takes a hell to bring out heaven in us. we go threw hell but when we put it in paper, others see a heaven in it...and this is a heavenly piece of lit. not the body obvivously, it is dpressing, but the scheme, word usage, patterns, they are all there, and diverse. some even reaccuring...awesome stuff.

well i am sure ted will follow up and corect my, he never lets me represent him with out him protecting his honor (if there such a thing)
