Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level

A most excellent use of rhymes and play of similar sounding words. It created a river like rushing flow that felt much more like a journey than a read. Well done, Doc!!!

I enjoyed reading your poem. I love your word choices including the phrases "Broken as cast repaired as Final Last" and "Bruised and Contused, lost and Refused". Wonderful word choices and also adds a rhythmic qualit. The poem's exploration of mortality and the transformative power of healing is deeply moving.

This poem, Surgically Repaired, contains many ponds filled by reservoirs of history which speak to death, tissue donation, and the anger and joy that fill in all the other spots.

Thank you for sharing this poem with us. The internal rhymes where amazing. I enjoyed reading. One never gets over the loss of a child. One just learns to live with it.
