Scars Of The Heart Poem by R. K. Hart

scar 1 (skär) n. 1. A mark left on the skin after a surface injury or wound has healed. 2. A lingering sign of damage or injury, either mental or physical: nightmares, anxiety, and other enduring scars of wartime experiences. 3. Botany A mark indicating a former attachment, as of a leaf to a stem. 4. A mark, such as a dent, resulting from use or contact. v. scarred, scar·ring, scars [see SCARRED above, not SCARED] SO I AM a bit confused? is your poem supposed to mention both scared (past tense or?) of the word scare and ALSO the word scar? ? i like 'scarred' (rather than 'scared') for this poem, but i suppose a heart could be either scarred or scared or both.....if one considers the heart a center of emotion. i especially liked some of the rhyming, like ended/descended, and the last stanza. the last stanza gives hope, if not promises. but oops! perhaps some careless errors? ........a lost babies cries. (a lost baby's cries) ....and.....bathe, not bath (sounds like a mistake i have made) . thanks for sharing and taking my comment. :) bri also thanks for your two recent messages in response to my earlier poem comments.
