Kris, I read several of your poems today, all with the theme of TEARS. I was impressed by their expressiveness and by the fact that so many different poems, with different perspectives and poetic interpretations can be written within a single theme. Also, I thank you for your comment on my poem, "I am..." -- You are quite right in thinking that the person in the poem is not really me. Some of my poems are autobiographical, but many others are not. I do try to put myself in the shoes of the person I am writing about, and try to feel what they may have felt. Thank you again, my friend. I wish you a happy and peaceful time this coming Christmas! ~ Robert
