[Critique Group 2] Emailing: 6-11-20 Group 2 Critique Session my belated critiques-BC

[James]

Hello Friends of Group 2,

No, I have not fallen off the edge of the Earth. As a point of interest, I
actually have a friend who firmly believes that such is possible. In any
case, I am back and delighted to be so. Below and attached are my critiques
as promised. As some clever wagg once put it, "late is better than never."

6-11-20 Group 2 critique session 

1. Valerie's piece:

Captured here is the sincere and totally understandable fear of a child upon
hearing that "no one is in charge." The unimaginable has just happened,
though by the end of the decade assassination was a familiar happening for
us all. And so many years later, the fear and horror we feel as senior
citizens that "no one is in charge" returns. Beautifully executed and
poignant. This poem brought tears to my eyes.  


2. Alice's piece:

A heart-felt and poignant piece. A distant sound of great significance from
early days like a gift at the culmination of an unavoidable move returns.
For me it was train whistles. As a child I heard them in my home town and
they called to me. When I moved for the first time, imagine my delight to
learn they were still there. However with my last move they have vanished.
How sweet must be the rediscovery? A sign of welcome and a promise for the
future. 

3. Joan's piece:

The "one" of this piece is not I believe the same one who seeks with the sea
or toward the heights. Does one preclude the other? We know that for Joan
the sea holds special significance. We are not told how the seeker of the
heights gears their journey. 

4. Leonard's piece:

A fun and refreshing garden piece. Obviously, Leonard is a man who knows and
loves his cabbage. Of course, like most things in life, even with cabbages
there is a threat to overcome. All who live, have frequently to face and
conquer things analogous to cabbage worms. Alas, they have even gotten into
our politics.
