Comment from acerisestory
I absolutely loved this one, Teresa! The imagery you've used is wonderful and your use of enjambment promotes a nice flow. I love this. I especially like the second stanza.
Everyone has a skeleton or two in their closet, but I'll bet not many have thought of them as you have. So very fun. And I love the accompanying "artwork."
A six I must give you. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi Teresa - Skeletons in the cupboard. Very well written. Is there anyone do you think who does not have a skeleton or two in the cupboard. Such a good read - and great display - I love the creeping skeleton (out of the cupboard?) Kind regards Dorothy x

You're right Dorothy we probably all have some skeletons. This poem is in reference to my Mom's secret past that she wouldn't talk about. Thanks for the great review:)
Comment from Tina McKala
some secrets are meant to be taken to the grave. and sometimes it's for the best (maybe)
this was very interesting poem. one to think about. the free rhymes structure worked reallyh well and I think it helped emphasize what needed to be emphasized.
well written.

OMG...I am bestowing 6's like crazy this morning...and here is one for you. Closets, secrets, rattling bones, along with the suits and blouses that we cover them up with, all living in closets. Great imagery. The whole offering is fantastic. Thanks.

Comment from LIJ Red
Probably it was something really awful, like laying out of school or lying about a headache to skip church. Older generations had other standards. Nice free verse, full of colorful imagery.

Comment from Andrewajgblue
This was a well written poem, all very intriguing it really makes you wonder, the wording was really good, each stanza built up the intrigue and just when you think you are going to find out, she comes down with dementia,
Very enjoyable :) great writing,

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Dear Teresa - This is a compelling work to ponder. I chose to release all the skeletons - yet for some it is too much fear of facing the pain that keeps them locked away. Great writing and a powerful expressive post.
You did a great job on this one, I pondered it for some time before reviewing.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much Maureen. I knew after my Mom died that I would some day write about her secrets of her past and it finally came out. I appreciate that you took time to ponder this:)
