A Disturbing Insight

abandoned is the hope

            clothed in innocence

never to return.

i've read all the poems that you left here and enjoyed each one. the theme of somehow seeing through what seems to be 'reality' runs through all of them in one form or another. i especially like this one. i have a feeling each poem was very personal and relates to a particular event or person in your life. as such, part of the meaning is obscured from the reader, but the minimalistic style allows you to give just enough information that we can fill in the blanks with our own experiences. for me, this is what poetry should be. the paring down of thoughts and concepts in a creative way. you do that well. i hope you continue posting more. i'll be back.

The words are true. When the innocence and hope is lost. Can't change deed or action. A excellent poem.

Certainly, a justified--and quite lyrical--observation.
Has impact, Amanda.
