It is quite amazing when: It is quite amazing when poetry intersects the components of real events, pewrhaps that is one of the possible meanings when we say 'it is relatable' and other such phrases. Therein is a glimpse of the connective power of poetry.

Starward commented on: The Unhealing, The Lost by rachel 4 years 9 weeks ago
You have great skill for: You have great skill for depicting intense emotion in very convincing words and phrases.  The first ten lines reminded me of the summer I spent with my First Beloved---a very pleasant set of memories.  Your poem is very effective, and the last four lines deliver a real gut-wrench to the reader.
