   I think you’ve done a good job with “Mementos: Two Women Speak as More than One” in tying together the two poems. I think the final poem is true to both but closer to your original poem, and I like that, as the mood of your poem is strong as one of repetition, particularly repetition of questions that aren’t even really quite asked (the question words, “when” & “where” used more as open ended statements and phrases). This is a moving, powerful poem where the speaker yearns for answers she will never have. David Moolten’s last blog ..Early Sunday Morning Like or Dislike: 0  0 Reply

     It’s interesting that the first poem comes out stronger in the mash-up since it’s a significantly older piece. Like or Dislike: 0  0 Reply

   Enjoyed this piece – it’s a little bit mystery, a little bit angst with a nice song of repetition which renders it so very lyrical. Tumblewords’s last blog ..Poem for RWP #95 Like or Dislike: 1  0 Reply

   They fit together so well, almost a Mash-Up which isn’t like a Mash-Up at all. Very cool imagery. Julie Jordan Scott’s last blog ..Garlic Rest – Day 3 of the Poetry-Mini-Challenge Like or Dislike: 0  0 Reply

     It’s funny they came together so well since they were written so far apart (in space and time). I guess I’ve always had (and probably always will have) this sort of yearning (which if I could specify exactly I wouldn’t have to put into poems). Like or Dislike: 0  0 Reply
