A Pebble

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Janet. I'm sorry to hear about your son-in-law. Your poem is quite interesting from the perspective of how you view the "pebbles." The metaphor adds some dimension to how it attacks us. In the third stanza, you give a sense of being overwhelmed.
Your blank verse reads very well. Few people try to write in the form anymore. This is excellent and meets all of the style standard.

I'm glad your son-in-law is recovering. These 'pebbles' have spread everywhere. I work in health care, and I have to admit I'm pretty scared. Love your unique way of describing the virus.

Comment from Drew Delaney
This is very sad. When I think of sharing it with family and neighbours, I just want to stay put for as long as possible. A nicely written free verse about the visiting Coronavirus.
I hope your son-in-law will be alright. Take care and stay safe!

-I'm sorry to hear about your
son-in-law, Janet.
-I hope he is doing well,
and you are coping the
best you can.
-You have written an
excellent and symbolic
blank verse poem.
-You show how this disease,
as well as worry, and other
things can start small and
just keeps spreading until it
"captured time and space."
-My thoughts are with you and
your family, and I hope writing
and sharing this has helped.
-Take care and be well.

JMF, I like the symbolism in your poem. This illness has changed everyone's life. I like the photo and the script poring. Excellent work. I'm sorry if you suffered through this. Best wishes.

Hello Jmf4119,
Nice piece of poetry as 'A Blank Verse Poem' having smooth flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lively imagery, and beautifully depicting its theme.
Picture enhances depth of the poem.

This was an incredibly interesting poem. The idea I got was the pebbles representing some sort of spreading, but I also see many other meanings. I hope your son in law is okay.

Hi Janet. This is a marvelous way to explain the multiplication of infection of this Covid-19 which has spread like wildfire across the world, thanks to the China lapse in safety measures in their lab while fiddling around with this deadly thing. I hope that your son-in-law is okay and the same for the rest of your family. Marilyn
