I was moved and disconcerted by the powerful piece you have posted here (it is not surprising it has taken off on the net) and I enjoyed the poem 'This Morning', as well.

Thanks for this, Rosemary. <br />Wendy Bourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475940407969993348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-85859937803397412702018-03-10T11:03:39.516-05:002018-03-10T11:03:39.516-05:00you read great poetry, and it makes you come back ...you read great poetry, and it makes you come back for a second read. i came back for a second look at 'House Rules'. it is a very visual poem. makes one shudders at what manner of abuses are meted out.<br />yes, 'This Morning' is a much gentler poem. she opens our eyes to so much more that can be seen in a travelling beam of sunlight. <br /><br />thank you, Rosemary, for sharing Esther's poetry. dsnake1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724264906690080704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-87005193758971452762018-03-10T11:00:20.292-05:002018-03-10T11:00:20.292-05:00A strong poem with a powerful message!
