Great artwork; seems descriptive of the brains scrambled thoughts. I liked your poem on depression because you put thought into your words and came up with an apt decryption of what depression is and does to the individual.

great acrostic about depression. it is true it makes things so distorted that what we think is right maybe wrong or what we think is wrong is right. good luck in the contest.

I thought your acrostic was nicely done and showed a clever use of syllabic ingenuity, especially have the fifth and tenth lines rhyme. The other rhyming pattern was also clever (3rd/4th, 8th/9th).

depression oh how well you structure your poem to the strong words it images, and how the emotions are tied to each word you speak, it is hard, so many deal with it. thank you for sharing, and good luck in the contest.

Sixteezkid, I find it amazing how many different ways we, as poets, describe this cunning and insipid enemy who manages to steal so much of our joy. I particularly like your phrasing:

Senses numbed... crafty lies
In webs spun by my hands
Ought not feed their demands
Nor yield to dismay.

While true, it's not an easy fight. Keep the faith.

A good entry into the contest that I believe will do great in the voting. A very deep and moody piece reflecting the inner turmoil of one's depression.
