These lines pack a beautiful punch Susie! I love the message they bring forth. You have captured the image in thought and spirit. Lovely writing as always!
Spot on, and perfectly phrased. Each line is like the jeweler's hammer that strikes a bit of gem off the jewel being shaped--each one sparkles in the dark. And of course, the attitude makes the poem. A fine gathering of epigrams, each one adding to the whole.
Powerful...I read this as if spoken directly to a full but hushed theater. It gives me shivers.
