Wow, wow, wow.

I love the way that, first, you set the stage, explaining why secrets are not in anyone's best interest. Next, you intensified the message. Then, finally, you offered up the example in a raw, honest display.

Super job with this. I bet it will do great in the contest. But, regardless, it is an excellent piece of writing that I will remember. (the ultimate writer-to-writer compliment, yes?)

Excellent entry for the "The Life of a............" writing prompt contest.

I enjoyed reading your story about

family secrets and finding your brother.... how exciting! I used ancestry.Com and 23andme. I found out im 100% spanish.

Your story moved along nicely and the plot was easy to understand and follow. Good character development.

Well done, my friend.

I for one don't appreciate secrets of any kind. In your example you reflect the damage certain secrets can imbue. And for what reason? Always the better route is the truth and the whole truth.

Well said.

Hello fellow poet. Thank you for sharing your poem, I think you executed well within the rules of the writing prompt. Yeah some secrets can reek havoc, you told your story well with good messaging. Good job and good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for this exceptional review. I'm hoping to go to England someday to meet him. He's never been to America, so maybe he'll come here! Thank you for this thoughtful review, it's very appreciated. :)

A truly intriguing narrative poem. I like how you set the scene by describing WHAT a secret is and does. Then we get the story of how one secret was buried for a lifetime. Congratulations on your discovery of a brother. Rod
