I knew you had a knack for writing prose, but this is the first time I've read one of your poems. Although I haven't studied English Literature for a few years, and although I've forgotten a lot of the technical terms, I can say that I really liked the flow of the poem. I particularly enjoyed the section dealing with the visit to Mexico.

I've posted quite a few poems lately! You can find them through my 'writing things' tag, along with various short stories and fics.

Correction: intended visit to Mexico. Granny Burgess (that was her name) was eighty-six at this point. Heh.

I also intended to write that word, but it seemed to disappear from the sentence as I typed it. Oops?

I like it.

Yaaaaaay! You wrote it!

It really flows quite nicely, and I love the details you chose to capture her. I also really like the use of parentheticals. Also, what an awesome lady.

I did indeed! I enjoyed writing it a lot. It brought back a lot of memories; she really was awesome.
