Dear Farah,
I have read all your postings with great interest for the simple reason that there is something very appealing to the naive me in most of your poems. They somehow speak to the unfinished me if you know what i mean.
This particualr one created some problems though - i see the anguish and the concern - the need to explode in the medium you are happiest with - does it go beyond a description that is available in the news headlines? - what insights of a poetic sensibility do i get? what metaphors do you create? -
i am sorry if you think i am being too insensitive - my simple point is that a poem should take us beyond the known facts and the logical analysis
else a journalistic piece is more effective
may i twist Mykovsky?
the task of a poet is to point out the destruction of the roses when the forest fires rage - any govt official will talk of the latter
let me repeat i enjoy your poems
