Great interpretation of a supernatural experience. I had my own experience long ago, different but I felt that timid awe of realization. I would never doubt that such things occur and often dismissed out of hand. A well drawn scene. Keep writing/

Wonderful poem. Rebuilding oneself after that kind of break-up is huge. Word choice and flow through the piece is great and tells the tale emotionally as well as moving the reader into what you were expressing. Keep your head up and keep following your muse and keep writing.

Wonderful piece. The feeling of being overwhelmed by worrying about too many things at the same time really struck an emotional chord for me. I've medical issues and I feel I need to get my affairs in order, have cats who are over ten years old whose health concerns me, and run a household.

A great poem. A tough read with the raw emotion being expressed. But such a topic is elegantly expressed making the reader a party to the pain. This kind of thing is what poetry is all about moving the reader. Being a parent, I was deeply moved. Keep writing.

Well done. Your involvement of the reader of the moment of love and abandonment. The description of the moment is well executed and the loss of it was probably difficult to write but it carries the reader along with you to the abandonment. Keep writing.

Your piece really got to me emotionally because my father was one of those men. Too any people today don't realize what those men saved us from. The world we live in is as free as it is because of them. Accomplishing the poem structurally is faultless.
