I like the surreal shiftings in the middle of the poem. Very effective. And the progression of sound through the piece. Stellar work, Ann. *
This partakes of the raw realities of childhood and couches them in " surreal shiftings." I will read this poem again and again. It reaches places most don't know exist. You should write more poems: this one is exceptional, fit for an anthology.
Sweet. Funny. What they said (smile).
So great, Ann!

I think this is very good
(because I enjoyed it very much).
This is lean and powerful. just the right balance.
Your comments are enlivening, David Ackley's in particular, time to write more poetry and time to color with colored pens ... more! Thanks, Sam, and all of you.
I've read this several times and think it's the movement of it that I like best in it.
Disturbing (that's a good thing). *
Excellent work by a very sure hand and mind.
Thanks, Steven, Tina, and Darryl.
"It was a good one, what to do with old guns:
bury them in the cellar, one by one." beautiful stuff. *
Good language and sounds.
Thanks, both Dan and Bud.
This came to my inbox today from Beliefnet: 7 Gatekeepers of the Tongue:
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1 Peter 3:13-15
James 1:26
Matthew 15:10-11
Proverbs 15:1
Psalm 34:13
Romans 14:10-12
I wrote the poem in 1991 following Bible osmosis.
I noticed today that Zora Neale Hurston's title Every Tongue Got to Confess comes from Romans 14:11
I agree with Tina - this disturbed me too and that's what I liked about it.
