Analysis of For All To Share
The Question I Posed ….
If your Poem is still
an open wound
And you stitch it tight
with editing
How…
will it ever bleed free?
(James River Writer’s Conference: October, 2016)
The Actual Poem ….
For All To Share
My Poem still an open wound,
unstitched by edits snare
Running free on a salted page,
—new blood for all to share
(James River Writers Conference: October, 2016)
