All Comments on 'I am...'

By filling out the repeating line with well developed thoughts you make it work.

This poem is not dark nor full of expletives.

I think it one of your best.

while to old folks" - the "to" should be "two"

"I am

a womans brother

whom she's relyed on for comfort

to see her through a rocky marriage

with nothin to offer but love and support

I'm he"

"womans" is possessive

"relyed" has no "y"

and I believe "whom" doesn't want the "m" ??

for the glimpse. Well done sir : )

I was taught to show and not tell when it comes to poetry. You show us exactly what you're talking about with many great examples.
