[stylist] a poem

[Barbara Hammel]

Hee Hee!  I plan on reading Fahrenheit 451 on the way to convention as just 
one book I've chose so far.

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.

So, does the occasional three-line stanzas detract?
