Hi Folks, it's been awhile. I'm including here a link to my recent sonnet series.

Or you can see the video version here:

I hope this subject affects you as it affected me.

Hi Norman,

Thank you for the link. A set of very strong poems that certainly do create an emotional response and challenges the reader - sometimes empathizing with the voice of the poem sometimes being angered by it (I think that's a good thing).
I didn't make it through the video. It wasn’t how the babies looked, it was that they were dead (I think) and that was just to much for me.

Why thank you Cate.

"sometimes empathizing with the voice of the poem sometimes being angered by it (I think that's a good thing)."

The speaker is not especially likable in parts. So I appreciate your nuanced read. I hope he sounds honest though, at least, honestly flawed.

take care
