I Had To Be Okay Comments

Hey, Shaquay! Been reading your poetry and wanted to comment on I had to be ok You are a young poet; you said you write for release and to relax yourself; great reasons! I loved this poem on so many levels. First of all technique; the repetitive line, I had to be o.k. was very effective. I use that emphasis a lot in my own poetry. You write from a personal point of view; very important, we can't make others believe if we don't believe ourselves in the subject matter. We've all had lost love and can really relate to your feelings. Loved the lines it was more than a phone call, more than a laugh, more than a text, nothing physical, But yet I still shudder...Always write about these deep feelings and you'll keep your poetry honest. I invite you to read my poems; I'm old enough to be your Mom or Grandmom, but all poets relate. That's what is so great about poemhunters. Marianne Larsen Reninger
