Give me prewrites or fresh writes that are notable because of strong last lines. Give me the poem you have written that you believe has the most powerful ending. I want twists, surprises, or emotional body slams. I will not comment on poems that are entered that do not fall into this category, unless I don't get too many entries. Have fun....btw, a fresh write that was well-written would get brownie points.
