A Cold November Comments

Great universal rhetorical question that to some extent we all face. I just finished Bill Styron's book 'Darkness Visible' that deals with his struggles that brought him through. His case was severe and required hospitialization and the right mix of medication. Several 'trials and errors' only made things worse. Sandra Fowler's poem 'Lost' on this website ponders 'Why most warmth always seems so far away.' My two poems, 'October' and 'Beyond October' also grapple with the same issue. You have written what I call a 'ponder poem.' You do not impose a conclusion on the reader, you pose the question and provoke the reader to ponder and search for an answer to a question they may of avoided or not realized was in the back of their mind. Thanks, Tom
