All Comments on 'for Lena, Mary, and Helen'

attention to detail here. Loved the specific, concise imagery and how well thought out the poem is.

A good read, laced with moments of tenderness.

Wonderful from the 4th stanza on. * I think it would be even stronger if the first three were condensed and old age was more implied and less explicit.

I kept getting lost in your words; you paint such a vivid picture. I do find myself agreeing about making the age issue more implicit; it would suck readers in even more.
