No Poem.

is that a contradiction in terms? Perhaps poignant is a better word. A poemless god? Now that is definitely depressing, nay, devastating. cheers, Jess

I thought this to be an excellent piece, except the last two lines, just my meager opinion

I think the last two lines give it punch! You can't please everyone. cheers, Jess

You can't it's the author that matters!

do hit you like a bolt out of the blue Anna and nothing that came before really gave any hint of what they said. However, on balance I am with Jess on this one, they make the poem stand up and clothe it in a completely different way than if the last two lines were omitted. Thanks for sparing a thought for us single Dads although perversity being what it is, yesterday was not Mums day in the UK, it has been and gone several months ago. I have absolutely no idea who decides on the dates of such days although clearly they are not an International-based committee. lol. Keith

earthshattering to me. you have an ability to remove a reader from whatever they were once at and completely take them somewhere else. thank you.

We are too prone to assign characteristics to God, anyway (including even the name!) We are the poem writers...our servanthood, and you fulfill the role beautifully. That "rage of God" is a remarkable description of what we are, or are becoming. Thanks for this. Yours in peace, Synchro

K, This poem took me in from the start. Then it kept me. It bounced around painting images that mostly hung together by the 'no poem' title. Then the last two lines busted me into a smile, bordering on smirk. I'm almost laughing. Thanks. wcw
