Hey Stephen,
This is really a good piece, both in structure and message. I think you should do more with it re circulation & comp entry. Sad as the poem is, I really do like it.
Thank you, & Cheeers

A powerful piece, Stephen, and Glenny's right...it's well worth considering as a competition entry, if you're interested in pursuing that path. (Although you'll need to watch out for those irritating 'previous publication' rules!)

Cheers
David

Yep, I'm in total agreement. This is one those 'WOW' poems that don't come along all that often.
