Sean Brodie's Response to Tierra Poems "Choices" and "No Apologies"

Tierra's Poem, "Choices" is about the choices you make in life. If you were born poor, then you will be poor, if your born famous, then you will be famous, but you have the choice to decide what your life is going to be. No one can do it or make it for you, you have to get up on your own two feet and make the choices in your life. If you get discouraged, tell yourself to never give up, and fight for the choice you believe in. The sky is the limit and the choices you made, you will have to live with them.

Tierra's Poem "No Apologies" is about a prostitute, who used drugs, has aids, and had given birth to a baby. She loves having sex for money, and the guys like her because her body is so pleasing. This is her way of making money because it’s the only way she knows how to. She misses her mother, who seems to be upset with her prostituting out on the streets, and it pains her inside. Her mother blames herself for what her daughter is doing, but the central character says that it is not her fault and it is her burden to carry. She doesn't want any apologizes from her mother. Her memories of her are in her heart forever. She decided that she won't stop doing what she is doing. No matter what the cost.

These two poems are very beautiful and amazing. I can really feel what you are saying in these two poems and get inside the character's head. I wouldn't change anything. You had done a very good job. I will be waiting to read more of your poems.
