My wife recently had an operation on her knee and she's a gardener and was wondering if she'd be able to garden again. Since I'm not in a wheelchair yet, I was happy to have the rest of the poem just "arrive." All that I did was try to maintain the tone without blubbering. Writing is a miracle for those of us who can't help but do it. This is a nice poem and I'm especially happy for that because recent poems have tended to be "dark," to use a word I see used more and more these days. But in poetry you take what you get. In fiction, you can manufacture more. donalmahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495872532526336596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6206746352956093398.post-21534321539108383222014-06-29T12:25:40.402-04:002014-06-29T12:25:40.402-04:00I agree, excellent; pathos almost bordering on los...I agree, excellent; pathos almost bordering on lost empathy; pithy and haunting.
