Leigh Jan, your poem "The Fall" is excellent. It caught my breath and brought me to tears, in part because it's a poem that does exactly what I would have liked to do with a poem on this topic and couldn't manage.

Thank you.
Leigh

ps: I voted for it, of course. (also, I had asked you if I could post the poem on FB, and then I used my brain and went and found it on the New Verse News.) =)

Thanks you so much, Leigh! Just found this comment-- sorry it took over a year to reply here. Hope all is well with you.
