All Comments on 'Stretch Marks'

how to take this one. It has a lot of powerful imagery, a good layering of emotion...maybe the title just threw me, I'm not sure it fits. (Maybe it's just me!) :)

I like the almost dispassionate emotion in this and for some reason I relate to it.

Agree with the earlier commenter though. Not sure the title does it justice. :)

This poem sent me through a wave of emotions. thank you for sharing it.

Some people save their darkness for the bottom of their personalities, but I find that you wedge yours dead in the middle. Between the whimsy and the shrewd observation. Anyone who stumbles across this page is lucky to glimpse some here. Every line of this poem feels deliberate and measured. Purposeful. "Wipe my face of falling snow" is gorgeous and captures a moment that propels the whole rest of the poem. Thank you for sharing.
