I thought the poem started as an instruction and then it leads me into a poem. Beautifully done! You've given the poem the first person voice somehow, and the typewriter and then the narrator. I hear these three distinct voices and then hidden there is the child, searching. Loved it and of course the quotes are all masterpieces as is the art. I need to stop being so nice! (Joking.) And I see the Plath quote you used!
I interpret your poem two different ways, Carolyn. My first impression was that each poem is written first for the poet not knowing how it will be received. I then pictured some of the deeply personal poems that I’ve written that are never meant to see the light of day. Either way, thanks for sharing. I truly enjoyed this.
A wonderfully descriptive piece, these words evoking feelings of empathy in the reader, as they gaze through this open window on to a seemingly troubled soul.. (just my impression, anyway). Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous words!!
