RE: An Ode to Mom, Robert Service, and The Cremation of Sam McGee
Hi @carolkean,
The voice of America in the poem. It rings loud. Almost Whitmanesque. The broad sweep of a life in rural America. The striving, the loss, the surviving. Getting to know your family through your writing. Getting to know you..which is inevitable for a writer.
A very effective piece.

Wow!! you're talking about my little ode, not the Ballad of Sam McGee??
Thank you!!!
Of course not Sam McGee (though he does belong here). You!
