You describe a wild child in

Posted on Sat, 26 Oct 2019

You describe a wild child in those first five lines which I adore. That feeling of wanting...yet needing freedom to be you and not what others expect. Having those little reminders at the end of your poem, so as to not give up hope, but like the...

Oh dear Jean,

what a crazy mix up. It must have been devastating for him as much as it was for you. Isn't it strange how we can misunderstand situations? I wonder how different things would have been had you stuck around and spoken to him...
