Thanks Dale and ellajam for the thoughtful comments. Actually, I don't why I posted this one. It was really just a targeted poem for a very specific real life circumstance. It hung framed above little Bronwyn's crib years ago.
That's funny about you not knowing it was referring to a new born child with the tendril metaphor. You might be right without the background, or foreknowledge. One of those so obvious to my own mind, but not so a more anonymous reader.
And I do "questions" in poems sometimes. When you brought that up 'e' I noticed that I probably do that more than I should. It honestly just never came to me to do it any other way at the time I was doing it.
Anyway...I should do some more thoughtful commenting again soon on other's poems. Been a little neglectful in that way.

You can't hate me more than I hate myself. I win.
