Re: A great piece of work
Thanks so much Geraldine! I feel like I have, damned if I'll keep my mouth shut next time, though!

A great piece of work
And so clever and meaningful. You are not alone in ignoring the obvious to avoid a fight, lots of us do. I hope you have survived your crushing and bounced back.  Geraldine

(speechless)
i don't say this everyday but "Wow!" what a powerful way of stating it. it's obvious and subtle, a unique turn on a cliche, dry and yet poetic, i could go on and on!

Re: sam
Thanks a lot sam!  I've found that some problems get a chance to get stronger when they're ignored.  I don't like to confront problems, I try to just let things go, and that's been coming back to bite me lately.  I wrote this poem to express that.

This is awesome. I have always preferred ignore me and I will go away, but crushing is a good second! I love your surprise endings! sam
