Comment from Bill O'Bier

Excellent

I'm slightly agoraphobic. I can't deal with crowds, so your poem struck a familiar cord with me. Thanks so much sharing this QUINZAINE format and great write. Wishing you all the best.

Too true! Excellent Quinzaine explains agoraphobia quite well using very few words. I don't see anything that needs to be changed. Great job!

This fulfilled the requirements of the quinzaine very well. It flows well. As a person who understands anxiety it appeals to me.

There is truth in your words. The outside world can be scary. I have never heard of this form, it is quite interesting, I may try it sometime. Excellent use of words that makes the reader think.

I feel the same way! I love my home and venture out for the necessaries, but I agree with you that the outside world is scary and your poem says it all, love Dolly x

A slice of life of an agoraphobic is well depicted in fine imagery; poet describes the state of mind and stand of living of such a person who thinks and fears of being criticised in public or at a public place; I enjoyed the read.

fine job and the notes are very helpful. Your poem is very good with the lines doing exactly what the notes say. Miss Pattie, you defiantly have talent and I agree to find and try as many forms as you can. This sight and the people on it are great teachers, mentors and friends. I look at my poems when I first got here to the ones written closer to today and it amazes me just how much more polished I am. (But a long way to go yet.) Blessing to you. Kat

Comment from Bill Schott

Excellent

This quinzaine, And So I Stay, has the proper format and brings out the phobia of open spaces. This fear, agoraphobia, is actually more prevalent than one could imagine. Nice poem.

Hi friend, this a great thought, and I think echoed by half of the humanity. This world is not worth staying in. I do not find that it is a wonder you are still here. You were in the army and you lived passed it, i wonder what is best for you now. Be blessed

Hi Patty - well written piece about Agoraphobia. A statement, a question and a further question - clever, all in three lines. Well done. Warm regards Dorothy
