Barbara,

I think you should submit this poem to a publication, anyone you feel is the right fit. I like this poem a lot.

  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
