Poem

[Cordelia]

Thank you for your complements. The numbers show how many lines there are but also point out the fact that each of these statements are said by themselves. An example would be that you would say \"shoulda been\" pause \"coulda been\" pause \"woulda been dead\" etc. As for the letters at the end they make up the poems rhyme scheme, I learned how to make a rhyme scheme or at least determine a rhyme scheme in a poem in my English class.

you're very welcome.
thanks for explaining that to me, I actually missed that there was a connection between rhyming the words
and the letters. that makes perfect sense.

I understand what you mean when you say that the statements are said by themselves.
Each statement says a lot.
using the word shoulda in your first line brings me in touch with all
the should's i carry...  like for example... I think "I should eat my patatoes" and I hate patatoes.
hate them, hate them, hate them
but though i'm in my thrities, i still have this thought. so i tend to eat more of what i like.
This is not meant to trivialize your poem. i find all shoulds cramp my freedom, but i need to know them first.

...lke you are aware of the "should" you carry here.


In my writing i often carry a word from one poem into another. so one a word or statement can
give to another creation.
....there are so many statements here. possibly room
your next creation?


with best wishes
