This is a very encouraging poem. You start in the dark and end in the light. There is much to be thankful for, as the person in this poem did. You have some lovely imagery in your words, like the stars coming out again. It's a lovely rhyming poem for the contest, well done and good luck. :) Sandra xx

What an interesting complicated and psychological poem about one's dream. Since you are a therapist, it's not surprising that you write a poem like this.

Well done and the rhyming is good.

Ooo, I like this. Wish I have a six. The character in your poem turns from his/her own grief and fears to assist others and is saved in the process. Excellent message.

I love how you transition the dark and day to "glorious" and "radiant" places. A decision to move on from the depression and loss of hope you first describe.

This is a very good rhyming poem. My favorite lines are:

Myself running from me
then
Blessings from Shadow's Run.

Well composed and written. Good luck.

Pam

More than one star by my uncoordinated shaky hand.
it did it again. I don't know how.
this reductionist website is sabotaging my paranoia.
this poem echos mine and many others i would venture.
but the meak are not all weak.
and the spell checker is an idiot.
good lookand luck

    There you are! Do write about the jurisdiction of addiction. The more I learn, the less I know. Thanks for reviewing it for me.

This is a beautiful poem full of rich imagery. Your rhyming in good throughout and the poem generally reads very well. I just think that some of your lines are a bit short so that the rhythm breaks up a bit at times. For example, the first three lines of your last stanza have five beats each while all of your other lines have six. Apart from that very small point, this is a great poem so good luck with it
