All Comments on 'Why Some Poems Don't Make It!'

and I would venture to say that any serious poet has done his or her share of the killing. Again, you have posted a poem that I truly enjoyed. Loved the point of view. My favorite way of "disposal" is drowning, as I love water and adore a river.

I especially enjoyed the way you compare your new poems as spoiled brats, that is totally cute and so easy to relate to. I have brats, but they are hidden away under different alts ;)

please keep writing because this fan looks forward to each new posting of your work.
