Comment from C. Gale Burnett

Excellent

You did great in choosing a Minute. The Minute was perfection, and there was not a single 'A' in the poem, meeting the contest requirements. This is an excellent contest entry, and I truly wish you the very best. I wish I had a six to give you.

Thanks, Gale!! I'm glad you liked this. I love minute poems. I had no idea how hard it would be to write without this critical vowel. But too late, I already entered the contest. LOL!! Your comments are greatly appreciated!

I just learned what a minute poem is and you handled this challenge very well. I had to count! Well done! This poem shows the transition from the sorrow of rejection to newfound strength that we can all identify with. Thank you for the poem.

Thanks, ShyWri! I like minute poems because they resemble sonnets which I love writing. I'm glad you liked this. Your lovely comments are much appreciated.

Excellent

I feel this poem, the truth in every line. Life without A as in abuse takes work. That's what it feels like to me, the temptation to self blame, and the realization of strength.
