WOW, very deep thoughts here, yet I always enjoy the phrases you use, they are individual to yourself and have great strength in meaning. Great writing Kay

DKLRDMCCHES,

Actually I try to steer away from scary stuff because I have two mental illnesses and I cannot sleep when I am afraid. So far your stuff hasn't been too bad. There is a boy here that I used to review and his novels were really getting difficult for me to review because they were too scary,

This is a nice poem. Yes, some of the words and phrases had scary undertones but it wasn't bad at all. So far your stuff has been okay for me to read.

The theme is good. The arrangement looks well. The formatting is good. The flow is smooth.

There was no SPAG. No room for improvement.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

I commend you for this very real portrayal of this confusion and loss of almost every drive you once had ... I too, have had bouts with this thief and it's sooo hard to live with or explain. Superb. Lea Ann

Mm. Another cold, morbid presentation by someone who knows the mood very well, I suspect. Suicidical thoughts running amock here. Loved it.

Painfully dark, and it seems to capture the essence of the emotion nicely. It took me a reading or two, but it ended up inducing someone what of a stabbing sensation inside me, perhaps because I can relate. I was no personally found of what seemed like a lack of form to me, but at the same time I can understand that such an element was hardly important. There's a much deeper sensation being developed, and one you actually handled very nicely. Good work.

Deep, dark pain expressed. Drinking away the hurt. Well written sorrow and words that flowed with despair. A toast to letting go, and better off.

Initial read was dark and riveting, but poetic composition lacking in construction. For a free form verse with four short strophes, the word "the" was used SIX times. Omit or replace. Drop caps on continous run-ons in free form format. The last line was redundant in the use of pure/purification. Drop the first use of "pure" to create much stronger conclusion. Seraph

"The clouds of despair linger
Over the shadows of once was."

Okay, these lines sucked me in, no doubt. I must admit to have gotten lost along the way a bit and had to sort of take my own meaning from this. I think that is often your intent, if I am correct, to have the reader take their own meaning from your words.

You have a unique voice and you are very consistent.

Adam
