I really enjoyed this poem. The “idea” of wish coming true brings people peace and hope and lets them dream.

The emotional struggle is very authentic. Love the last two lines: The attic is free of different versions of me/that don’t fit when I count all my numbers.

Really enjoyed this poem and you pulled with your first line: I ‘m not a man of constant sorrow. The
honesty of this piece is so refreshing!

:Love the last two lines: everything costs something/but only you can deem the worth. So much truth to those words.

I love the message of this peace. “To eat from where I live” is a great line.

Wow! The lines “minority is not the same as marginalized” — incredibly powerful!

There are so many powerful lines in this poem that I love:
Because if I am untrue my words are untrue
Truth atop a razor blade.
This whole poem speaks to me.

Endless possibilities

blown into space and time

Love these lines. They really capture the essence of the wish and blowing dandelions.

I totally see this as a reflection of life. How often we are deceived by the glitter, and it isn’t until we get to know someone we realize what is underneath.

Truth!

I really love this one. The nostalgic images of your past and the magic that you clearly have with your husband are beautiful. It looks like you were meant to be together.

Really enjoyed this extended metaphor!

Love this, especially the image of healing through your soles and skins.

I love the sea imagery. 🙂

Love this! 🙂

Love the imagery! 🙂

I’m not from the south but I hear you. 🙂

Yes , powerful!

This is so beautiful. I cried. Love the way you progressed through life, through innocence and experience through life and death. Just beautiful.
