    Hi; thank you so much for reading and reviewing 'Ease the Pain.' It was a fun write to work with this poetic form. I found it here on FanStory a few weeks back. Someone created the format for a contest. I just wanted to see if I could write within the constraints. I appreciate your kind words,

love is complicated in its own way,it can either help or be in a state of suffering. helping others who is in the state of suffering can be complicated as love will show. love will show us that its complicated but in the end love is the answer to all questions. your poem was written effortlessly and the meaning was well paragraph. thanks for the read. "your so vein" means mood or humor.

your so vein

A woman expression of love to her child is easy. When he grows, she has to develop other ways to express it. If she plans to show love one what, will it be enough? Or maybe not show love at all, will that work? She uses the sure way every mother knows. Serve a good meal. Her heart would be filled.

    Hi; thank you so much for reading and reviewing this poem. As an Italian American, it is my nature to 'feed a problem.' I appreciate you catching that reference. Not many readers saw the metaphor,

Sweet conveyance, touching to the heart statements, plowing into its reader conscious. A step inside the real of had feelings. I found these aspects pleasing.

Mustangpatty,

Very nicely written work. Perfectly arranged and your formatting is well done. Good flow. Very understandable. Well chosen words, colorful arrangement and wonderfully decorated thoughts.

There was no SPAG. No typos. No homophones. No problems at all.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

This is a first time read of a piece like this. According to the notes of the Duodec, you followed the pattern and used the past line to pull all together and explaining love is still the answer to everything

    Hi Barb; I found this poetic form on the site a few weeks back. Someone created it and made it a challenge as a contest. I saved the format and decided I would try it on a day when I needed a challenge - it was, and it did help me sort through my emotions,

Hello Patty,
I like how you asked the question how can love another person who is in pain (help)
by you using a difficult format as the a duodec-liner

Hmmm, I've never heard of nor read a Duodec poem before now, Patty.
You're right, it is very much like an Etheree in may ways, with the exception of a couple of additional lines.
All of the syllable counts increase exponentially with each line, just as the Etheree and Nonet form does.
Not only that, but what you've written about and included as your topic--helping others--is one I hope many readers here will be able to relate to.
Good work!
~Dean
