RE: Working Title (Minnow Support Creative Writing Curation)
Happy anniversary Sun! And thank you for curating my poem and accompanying thoughts/photos about the visit to Auschwitz and Birkenau. It wasn't an easy read, I'm sure, and wasn't easy to write either. I actually tried to write more verses to that poem but they were not very good and I ended up deleting them. They were full of cliche and a little muddled in what I wanted to say. So in the end I just added two new lines and rearranged some elements of the first draft. Perhaps it was better this way, short and to the point. You actually picked out the two new lines in your snippet
Paint-flecked carved pain
engraved in family names.
Thanks again for your support and I hope all is well with you :-)
