    Poem Commentary

    THIS POEM IS ABOUT JUXTAPOSING THE LIFE OF A MOTHER AND THE BABY FROM BIRTH TO ADULT BY THE TIME WHICH THE MOTHER BECOMES AGED.

    EPOCH

    She laid in ecstasy,

    rose in guilt

    and bore in agony.

    Purged in red and agony,

    then, it trudged

    and stood like a midget.

    Like a hunchback she bore

    eighteen-couple-of-moons.

    Tending the tendril

    ages hence,

    till the table turned

    and she trudged

    and stood like a midget.

    interesting...I like how you make the point that life takes us full circle. I think you need to change one of your agonies to another work so that it's not so repetitive at the start

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
