hi firemonkey,

I liked your poem. It reminds me of the poetry I wrote when I was about the same age-- although that would have been 1992. My mother threw all poems, artwork, clothing, jewelry, anything that meant anything to me at that time away while I was in the hospital for the first time when I was 16. I remember a few lines from a couple of poems. But there were so many! I had several folders, and notebooks, miscellaneous pieces of scrap paper shoved in between. whatever i could find to write on while i was inspired. Wish i had those. but i have more now. thanks for reminding me of myself at that time.
