What else can a young mother say? I wake up at night hearing you... And I love and miss you Emily Mae. "Minutes turn hours & the hours to days" As no one, but you, can take my hand What else can a young mother say? When we put you to ground, the display alone sent me into this no man's land I love and miss you dear Emily Mae. "I buried my heart with, to keep you at play" in that field where the grey stones stand, What else can a young mother say. To those that we had, but went away? I want you to know, "I'm glad you weren't planned." And I love and I miss you Emily Mae. One day soon, with you too, I will stay by your grave as a mother, and friend. What else can a young mother say... But I love and miss you my Emily Mae.

I'm really not interested in reading 'other's' work, thanks, but I find it distracting, and because I'm trying to work and support my family on a simple artists wages, it's not what I'd call using my time wisely.
All of your notes are valid, but at that point in writing (the final polish, this was the first write) it becomes 'personal' prefference, style, and touches, and neither here nor there. BuT that'S A GOOD ONE! "me foaming" I mean, because, if you knew me, you'd be able to get close enough to smell the foam is merely twinkie cream, I'm just a dick, I'm not interested in teaching poetry for free, or sharing ideas, or talking shop, or any of that other fucking l2 S7 verse bazooka page one crap, I was doing that 4,000 comments ago, now I've come to the conclusion that it's dull, boring and useless, now if you're an editor, and making a living sure, by all means, but I'm not, I'm a poet, no big deal. I think you are confusing an education and the appropriate language and terminology of writing, the elements of style etc... with having talent? Any fucking moron can learn how to edit, now having the passion and the conviction and the gimmicks it takes to be a poet, two different things. the world of the imaginitive to the world of the "CORRECT" Doesn't interest me, in fact, it makes me '"giggle" like I said any lit major can correct a poem, being a poet, however, is more than that, but that's a great tool to have if you are, not the other way around.
