Janice, as you know, I saw this on Facebook first, and loved it. So I'll just say again what a great poem this is. I love the language--"boom-booms!"--the lyrical, melancholy quality of it, and the lightness of touch about a truly scary subject.

Congrats!

Charlotte

Janice,
Great poem. I get a daily Rattle Poem and was delighted to see it was one by you. I enjoyed it very much.
