that doesn't mean that you have to revise it...and i didn't miss the point...because i did get something from it...the poet usually has a reason for writing a piece..but i think it is good if poets allow readers to relate to a poem in the way they do...if a poem is written so that it appeals in some way to each reader, it is successful.

i went back in 1986...had my undergrad in 1972....and i still can't believe i made it through...been teaching 20 years with it now...but still..i look back and feel really lucky i survived....my natural inclination is not being a scholar. lol

appreciate the thoughts on "irene's twin"
the title i do want because this is a timely piece, although a metaphor using the storm, this is the particular storm it sprang from...and it is a way to remember this storm...sort of like the inland hurricane we had here in southern illinois two years ago.. i usually go for a more universal theme, but when certain events happen...the i tend to write something that has to do with them... but i will take that suggestion along with all of your others into consideration... and i appreciate the time you took to look at my piece... thank you. jacob |
