Hey Bridgit-- you have obviously spent a lot of time on your insulin
reaction piece. The lyrical language is totally your imprint, and you do a
good job portraying how you felt that day. Although I'm also a type I
diabetic, it's a little hard for me to relate, because my blood sugar lows
are quite different. I tend to feel sluggish and stupid, as if I'm drunk and
carrying a hundred pound backpack. But your description is vivid, and
frightening, which is exactly what you were going for.
Bill - I enjoyed your poem, Antoinette, although I don't understand where
the title comes from. However, the meaning comes through loud and clear to
me. It's kind of how I started to accept my blindness after it hit years
ago. This sucks, but it could be a lot worse. Nice job.
To be honest, True Romance was a little long for me. I get it, meaning I can
fill in the blanks, see the people, we all know their stories. But for me,
it doesn't evoke the same emotion as reading/watching 'The Godfather' or
'The Sopranos' or 'Good Fellas'. I do appreciate you sharing it, and keep
on writing.
