Responce to Poem about Photo of a Girl

This poem is raw. It is the truth not edited, not changed. This poem does not hide anything. It has no secrets. It is what poetry should be. Somewhere along the way we lost poetry like this. It is not my favorite poem. It provokes you. Challenges you. Pushes you to look deeper, yet she does not hide anything. Everything is there on the paper. Some poetry is hidden, a maze of word and similes that do not mean something. Poetry should make you work but it should not be a hunt. A light jog for the mind. That it what Photo of a Girl does. You want to know more and at the end of the poem you don't know anything yet you don't feel like a chunk of something is missing.
