Ya....I'm sorry but i really didnt like it very much. you used moomy and baby too much. it didnt really flow very well together. Putting aside the content, which I'm not crazy about: When you mean "you are," it's "you're," not "your." You also need to learn about apostrophes and commas and how to use them. "its to late" should be "it's too late." Writers need to use their tools--words--properly. Maybe that's why the magazine didn't want it. There are a few critical grammatical errors. the letter stand alone 'I' is always Capitalized. I suggest next time you use the tools in Word to catch errors and allow several other pairs of eyes proof your poems before you submit them. It is a powerful Poem with a Powerful message. Can't we just let everyone make there own choices without bullying people into feeling guilty for everything they do? People have to make choices, it is their right. I think it is childish and ignorant in this day and age to still be harping on about this issue when there are far greater ones to deal with.....a personal choice is just that, the majority of people that have an abortion do so because they feel in some way that they have too. It doesn't mean they are going to have a party and celebrate the fact. Maybe support should be given instead of guilt mongering all the time. |
