Wow Linda...this piece is amazing. You said something powerful in such a few words, it was deep and meaningful, and I understand your thoughts and questions here.

Miss you loads girl, you are amazing...

Oh my....this is so awesome. I usually don't like small poetry unless people are really good with it and I think you have that talent. I think if you have a small point you're trying to make you need a killer beginning or ending line when choosing short poetry and you're ending question nailed it...love the personification saying a burden was loud and comparing that to the persons quietness....loved that. Great job!!

Nice to see you on here again! Hope you have been well.

I noticed a few of your other poems are brevity yet have this impact in those few lines. It's simple but shows raw emotion as well as vulnerability in my mind.

I also thought with "you poor thing", that you understand the tragedy committed upon this man/woman, but you are not letting that be an excuse. You aren't throwing a pity party for them, no, you're asking that one question that needs to come out.

Powerful ending, it makes me think you are here watching this person live and struggle each day, and you finally get to the point where you want to know why they aren't speaking about it. Why they aren't addressing that wound. Was a very thoughtful piece, how you didn't go into detail or specifically say what happened, but have the reader wonder in between the lines.

Take care!
