This is evocative in just the right way to make me feel like I understand completely where this came from. That may not be the case at all, but it elicits a sympathetic feel with condition of the writer….
That’s the great thing about poetry, and writing in general – while it’s arguably the closest thing we have to telepathy, the reader is free to interpret the poem in any way that is meaningful to them. I actually get a kick out of people seeing entirely different things in what I write than what I originally intended. But honestly, in the end, as long as it’s eliciting something beyond a mere “meh”, it’s good by me. 😉
