Gerald did. The Lineup and the devastating suicide of a dear friend pushed me to write a few poems of my own.

What intrigues me most about crime poetry is it doesn't have the veneer of make-believe that fiction does.<br /><br />The most moving poems to me are the most honest, the most real.Gerald Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03571407711439433431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-33319968762289161732011-08-31T17:46:31.958-04:002011-08-31T17:46:31.958-04:00Interesting.

Gerald - Thank...Patti - Thanks for hosting Gerald.<br /><br />Gerald - Thanks for broadening my horizons to include the way crime fiction can be expressed and discussed in poetry. I honestly hadn't thought about that before and it's quite exciting to contemplate. A new way for me to think and that's a good thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-26075067776348723672011-08-31T14:07:05.144-04:002011-08-31T14:07:05.144-04:00Thanks very much, Jane.Thanks very much, Jane.Gerald Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03571407711439433431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-59170120138690159222011-08-31T12:59:04.958-04:002011-08-31T12:59:04.958-04:00Like both of those poems a lot, Gerald.
