[stylist] poem: forever gone

[Chris Kuell]

Barbara,

I think expressing your feelings and thoughts through writing is perfectly acceptable as long as you don't label or hate on those who don't agree with your opinions, and you realize some/many people won't. 

Now, having said that, I will admit that I can't always live by my own rules.

Chris

  FOREVER GONE

by Barbara Hammel



Some folks kill the baby before it comes to birth,

They overanalyze and question what's the worth.

They see the growing form, they hear the steady beat,

And still they second-guess, debate, decide, delete.

Gone now is that baby that never had a chance,

Inspiration succumbed to logic's edit dance.





So, I didn’t want to comment before I pasted it but what do you think?  I’m sure I’m not the only way who feels this way about things I write, am I?

Barbara
