As usual: Ur poetry hits people deep! keep up the great work!!
The symbolism and the overall emotion and tone to the poem itself really brings out the fullest effect, great job :)

wow, i love the imagry in all of your writing... yum...
ps... Catherine called Birdy! The Witch of Blackbird Pond! ahh... and of course the redwall books... sniff, memories... mango! :P

nicely done. it's intense, darkeningly so, and then adds a ray of hope at the end with the 'thankyou' thought...only to have it die out. way to go. i love that kind of ending :)
