There's civil war in Sudan. This is nothing new.
Aid workers are caught in the middle again.
One kidnapped, another escaped
by hiding for days in an abandoned house.
Am I naive to think
they are not the enemy? Trying to help.
Binding up the wounds, feeding
the famine-stricken.
This poem should have a point.
I'll tell you what.
When I think of a point
to war, to famine,
to aid workers kidnapped or forced
into hiding,
when I can think of a point to all this,
I'll write another poem. I'll write a thousand.
Right now, I'm blank.

Very nice I must say...and I found a wonderful point to the poem. In fact I think that many others would to if they took the time. Keep writing...Heather |

OK, you're allowed to say my poems suck, and you're even allowed to do it anonymously, but you at least have to say WHY.
And if you're just mad because I said something critical about your poem, I only have two things to say: 1. Sorry I offended you, I didn't mean to, and 2. Grow up. If you can't accept criticism you'll never improve. |
