All Comments on 'Sarah Harper'

Your poem was mentioned in Monday's New Poems Reviews thread.

but I loved it, was it intended as a sonnet? I bite at identifying forms. It could be probably tightened up a bit, but you got the message across and for me, thats what counts :)

This tied it all together for me. Beautiful, Shanglan. Thank you.

Interesting read with some unique metaphors. Very conversational tone to the poem that is unusual among the poems posted here. That makes it stand out and be that much more unique among poems that are pared to the bone. Clear tone, clear message, clear words, clean writing.

... out of so little. I had an entire novella built in my head by the time I finished reading this a second time. I loved the line about the mother's example and the image of fever. Very powerful stuff for so few words. A talent I envy greatly.

Beautifuly moving and powerfully provoking. Tugs at the heart in such a wonderful way.
