Don't

Don't write another list poem.

Don't even bother to think about it.

Just . . .DON"T!

IT does have poet-tential :) while this style may work for you, some spacing between the thoughts and deletion of a few, okay, *most* of the don'ts would make it a better read. you can feed your readers your pain without treating them like they are second graders with a grocery list, and this is meant in the kindest of ways...maria

I thank you Maria and Anonymous for your thoughts. I can see where Maria is coming from with the grade school issue. When I write I can not say the reason behind why i wrote what I did. But at the time that I wrote this picture this. My Master went away with another woman. Comes back and says I am leaving for good sorry to all didn't tell me Himself I had to read about it in a post. Once it got out I kept hearing the "it will be ok" etc. So in essence that one was written out of pure anger and desparation. I do see now where I could have said the same thing without the don'ts in every line. but at the time god they were needed lol. Thank you Maria. I will try rewriting it and submit and edited version that hopefully most won't hate .

Thanks Anonymous I love encouragement to do more.
