Comment from Nanette Mary
Hullo Sixteezkid ....
Through your free-thought writing, you have smoothly fitted your lines beside the first letters of your chosen word - Depression - and there is nothing that I would suggest changing.
As this is a Contest entry, I wish you well.
With love from .... Nanette Mary.

Comment from adewpearl
spilt guilt getting through - this is heady stuff - excellent
crafty lies in webs spun by my hands - great imagery - and a most complementary artwork - one of my older sisters has suffered from depression for 50 years and my ex-husband did also until he died - you depict so well what I know to be depression

Comment from nicci_sawhney
A very accurate acrostic.
You've done extremely well as acrostics are notoriously hard to do decently. You've excelled.
As your your theme, this poem may comfort those who suffer from depression (in the, 'I'm not alone' vein) and understanding for those who do not.
Well done to you

Comment from Hitcher
You did a great job of describing the darkness that is depression, you don't strike me as someone who would be prone to it so to write and describe it as good as you have is excellent friend. Well done, cutting it a little fine Sue!

Comment from Gramma Kathy
I love the way the chosen artwork complements your poem.
Depression is many dark moments that "Pose threat to a new light
Raise doubt within my sight" - so true.
"Spilt guilt getting through" - this also rings too true.
I am impressed by your creativity and deep thought.

Gramma Kathy, am so glad you liked this piece. Thank you for highlighting the lines you liked. And for your very generous review. With regards, Sue
Comment from Joan E.
Terrific acrostic, with its form disappearing into your verse.
My favorite was the "S" line "spilt guilt getting through" with its metaphor and alliteration.
I thought the picture and the colors complimented your poem perfectly.

Red Bird, we all have it at times with varying degrees. It is a tough subject, as I had to delve into those feelings that do visit me at times. Thank you for reading my poem. And thank you for this exceptional review!! I stay encouraged to keep on writing. With warmest regards, Sue
