Tinker Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hi Gatekeeper, I too went to Sylvia Plath when reading this. I loved "cradling dark poetry Could have slept with it" The led me to Plath before I read the last 2 lines. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonqueen Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I only know what I like. And I do like this. The image, very clear, strong. I am a fan of dark poetry and write more of that than of any other. Nice job on this one. mq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatekeeper Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks for the comments. Wasn't thinking of Sylvia, though I can see that. Her name was Helen. Quote from the black desert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Very, very nice, Gatekeeper. I'm hopelessly behind with comments -- managing the site itself has been taking up a lot of my time -- but be sure that I'm always reading and enjoying your submissions.
