    Poem Commentary

    I'M JOANNA FROM PASADENA CALF. AND ALTHOUGH I USE POETRY AS MY COUNSELING BECAUSE IT NEVER JUDGES YOU.

    A TITLE WITHOUT A FACE

     I NEVER KNEW YOU
    THOUGH I HEARD OF YOU FROM TIME TO TIME
    I HEARD YOU WERE A HANDFULL
    WHEN YOU WERE IN YOUR PRIME.
    I HEARD YOU WERE A MUSICIAN
    A SAX PLAYER, I THOUGHT THEY SAID
    MAYBE NOT A ROCK STAR
    BUT AT LEAST IT KEPT YOU FED.
    I HEARD YOU WERE A BOXER
    HOW GOOD THEY DIDN'T SAY
    I HEARD YOU BEAT MY MOTHER
    ALMOST EVERY DAY.
    I HEAR YOU HAVE OTHER KIDS
    HOW MANY I DO NOT KNOW
    I WONDER DID YOU KNOW THEM
    AND DID YOU WATCH THEM GROW?
    BLACK HAIR AND GREEN EYES
    IS WHAT I HAVE FROM YOU
    I READ THAT ON MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE
    THATS HOW I KNOW IT'S TRUE.
    I NEVER HAD ANY ONE
    TO TRY TO TAKE YOUR PLACE
    I NEVER HAD A FATHER
    JUST A TITLE WITHOUT A FACE.

    thank you so much. every thing i write about is real. my mom had told me once not to write any more because it embarssed her. but when she died iwasn't scared any more.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
