Such a well crafted yet tragic piece! A full story told without compromising the flow and intensity! I also like the way you ended this poem, it really added something to it! Well done~Holly

*tear*...where do I start...My God what a sad story! Geesh I'm in tears! I normally have storys in poems as well but never will mine compare to this one! You had described the moment perfectly, you made it so realitic, you made your readers interested in reading it after only the third line...that right there shows what a gifted poet you are! I really want to rate this more then a five because it truly deserves more..I could go on but will try and keep it short! Touching lines Luanne I loved it!

This poem is so sad but it fills your heart to be able to feel the position that person is in and still how much she cares for her little ones its so cute.

Omg that was so sweet very emotional ur an amazing writer and i love reading your poems

Wow...that's good...really good...you are so talented...

Oh this is so very sad Luanne! It seriously brings tears to your eyes. What a tragic story of a woman who has given up all hope. You captured this so well. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. I wrote a poem about homelessness/poverty a while back called 'against the wall'. You might enjoy it. Anyway terrific writing girl! And thank you for the comment on my poems. I really appreciate it!

Poem was very well written, and more importantly, It captured the feelings, that a mother would have, and it came through. Good job.

WHOA! It hurts my heart to think mothers have really endured such pain and hard decisions but you captured it so well - even a bit optimistic. I'm not one to judge their situations but I can say this was a wonderful piece. So emotional! This literally took my breath away...awesome!

What a hugely powerful and emotional poem. You should be very proud. You wove the awful picture with your words so very well. Congratulations this is a truly brilliant work
