All the poems I've read today are sad. This one is heartbreaking. I hate how hurts resurface like that. I loved the poem. Great work.

This is very beautifully written. I particularly liked the following lines:

Ensuring they were sterilized
I kept them stitched and sanitized
Before too long they lay benign
All buried deep, without a sign

The rythm flowed very smoothly and the rhymes are excellent. Once again, very nicely done.

Nice poem. I don't think though it's more than that. Yes, it has a lot of unclear visual, that makes poems lovebale to many. But yet..

This rating does not count towards story rating or author rank.
The highest and the lowest rating are not included in calculations.

Kinda dark for Valentine's Day...just kidding, I think it's real good.

Emotional wounds and physical wounds compare very nicely.
If only recovering was as easy as healing a broken bone Huh?

Very nice work...I especially enjoyed the last paragraph; I guess we've all been through that.
good luck in the future

It reads very well because of the rhyming and softness of your poem. Tjere are very good descriptions and so the poem takes life.

Rhyme ? Once again nearly perfect.

Rhythm/Flow ? Very good. I think "Those wounds..." is just a little to much removing "Those" might make it a smoother read.

Appeal ? The illustration works so well with the words, just superb.

Format ? Perfect Quatrain

My Aesthetic Judgment ? Someone once said you ain't lived if you ain't got scars. It makes us who we are. You just put it out there so much more beautifully.

?Beauty is no quality in things themselves: it exists merely in the mind which contemplates them.? -- David Hume (1757)

As ever, and I can find no greater compliment, wonderful attention to rhyme, metre and sophisticated vocabulary to produce a poignant poem.

Beautiful wording and imagery, I love the internal rhyming and the whole flow of the poem comes alive with the emotion it portrays to the reader. Heart gripping descriptions of old wounds that surface, only to be denied access to the light.
Stunning work my friend.
Sincerely,
Curt

I really like the rhyme and rhythm you've built into this poem. Kind of an up and down message very well described in your 'A Past Revisited'.
