I wonder if on some level she knew all the terrible things she had done in her lifetime and was trying to render her own kind of justice...upon herself. I wonder...were you ever sorry in some small part of yourself that she did not in fact end her life this way? However, maybe this kind of end might have been too kind, quick and blunt. just curious what you think. Oh..and the imagery of your poem is very powerful and fits in beautifully with what you have written prior. Again..I am quite impressed Pat.DrSoosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445723747109775244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-51247643359114042002010-08-03T14:20:10.460-07:002010-08-03T14:20:10.460-07:00Therapy.Therapy.-Warren Zoellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662160471738573334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-30290362591996478172010-08-03T14:08:42.285-07:002010-08-03T14:08:42.285-07:00It's amazing the crazy, raw emotions you paint...It's amazing the crazy, raw emotions you paint with.
