If only if...then things could be different yet it doesn't mean for the better. So if only if... It's use for wondering the it's wonderful.

I like your piece, each stanza has it's own attributes. I also enjoyed the tone of the poem, I actualy was reading it a bit slow. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be. But its wonderful.

I agree with Everlasting things would be much much different if only if.
Great poem 5/5:)

There are so many if's in life that pulls us to wonder in thoughts and sparks our imagination. If this was that..then...it will start building up and soon it will become a dream and dream turns to words.

If I could rent Mother Earth's womb
and hide myself there, knitting goofy
fantasies of taking pleasure out of my pain
when I am half woman.

^^I really liked this stanza. How nice and cozy to be wrapped up in mother earth's womb..that would be a whole new difference.
As always it is a pleasure to read your piece..take care.

Hello my lovely!!!

I absolutely loved this. Deep with the what if's

I always think that about myself, maybe not the same questions but questions that relate to me.

I wonder how different my life would be

I was watching Greys Anatomy last night and the same kinda thing had been brought up there. If... They did a whole episode on what their lives would be like if they went a different way

Awesome poem x

I love your poems as you know.
This is no different, it showed creative talent far beyond what most minds can convey.

I think we waste our time with "what if" we are what we make of ourselves and maybe the what if's don't matter.

The last stanza was brilliant.

I really like the title, especially since I know myself how often I question things and wonder what would have happened if things were different or the circumstances.

I know you purposely started every stanza with "if", but the last, that is really clever and I thought it was quite well done. Furthermore I really like your "if's" because you describe something different in every stanza, I have to admit that I liked the last stanza best too.

:) 5/5

I have so far read a couple of your poems and love them. I particularly like this one. I am fond of the "if" in all of our lives. It is descriptive of so many things, both good and bad. I enjoyed the way you used it here. Excellent.
