I am new to your forum, so if I ask silly questions kindly forgive me. I have been struggling with a poem I am writing and would appreciate advice and suggestions from anyone interested in offering it. Is this something I can do here? Is there a possiblity anyone would care to help? If so I can cut and paste the poem and explain the difficulty I am having with it. Thanks ever so much.

Hi there. I took many classes in Literature and am a poet myself. Maybe I can help. There are many styles of prose/poem format and keep in mind that the poem does not always have to contain rhyming words. For an example, see my poem: "Come Grow Old With Me" that I posted here in my forum.



Walk in Peace and Harmony.

I tried to navigate this site to find your poem, but got lost. I aplogize for not finding my way around here. I'll get the hang of it. If I cut and paste the poem and explain my difficult would you care to give some advice? Anyone, everyone interested in helping I would sure appreciate it. It is a poem about a woman who has to move from her farm after the death of her husband. Her children think it is best for her to live in a nursing home 1,000 miles away (but close to one of the kids) The nursing homes tries to make the residents feel at home, but it doesn't really work out that way for this woman. I am having trouble keeping the tone and style of the poem when it comes to the stanza saying she is now in the nursing home. The stanzas before and after it, I am satisfied with, but this one is a problem.
So, I will post it if that is okay for all to look at?
