[stylist] a poem

I am not going to get into the politics of your poem accept to say "Oh Baby!) you got some courage posting this on our discussion group.  My experience is that this group does not have a high tolerance for political speech (especially on hot button issues such as abortion.  Just mentioning Fahrenheit 451 is enough to cause some on the group to breath fire; prepare for flames.

Technically, I found this to be a well written poem with great detail on pregnancy; I had no problem whatsoever with the three-line stanzas.  Of course, I do free verse and the number of lines in my stanzas go all over the place.

Anyway, the best of luck.  Thanks for sharing and thanks for your courage.

Shawn

So, does the occasional three-line stanzas detract?
