You did a very good job in penning this poem and using a sequence of events to tell the story. Your verse is eloquent and meaningful and describes the angel of mercy beautifully. Well done.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written story poem and a glimpse of what we could find in the inside of a place where people are sent to because of their misbehavior in society. The outside can sometimes be deceiving.

Hey Sandra... thanks so much for your celestial review...
Comment from Heather Knight
I love this poem. The words are heart-wrenching. But you are right, when I looked at the picture I thought it didn't look like a mental hospital at all.
Thanks for sharing.

Maria... I'm so grateful for your celestial/plus-one review. and to relive this story was difficult...
Comment from Dawn Munro
"...echo painfully..." - check this line-there's an extra word (probably "the")
This was fabulous. I think my favorite stanza is this one - "Warmly she takes my hand... her spirit much larger than mine. Her arms embrace me back to sane." So evocative!

Comment from Lulube
My my, your notes are like a novella. Very interesting history on this place. A very different style to write in, catchy. don't know if it is a personal experience, but whatever you depicted the confusion and sense of being lost, quite well.

This is personal Lulube... not an especially fond memory but writing is the best mental health...

writing and sharing, to tell your stories is a comfort and acceptance to enable you to shed the negative experiences or to relive joy, more people should try their hand at writing

Comment from seaglass
This poem places the reader into the experience. This is needed. Far to little concern is given to mental health and the need for services rises. Politicians promise, congress talks, nothing is ever done. This is the field I worked in before retirement so I appreciate your poem and your information in your notes.

Seaglass, you are correct there nothing but disregard for the mentally ill... I think people think they might catch it or something... yours
Comment from Ogden
Your story poem is told with considerable emotion, but a confusing opening and changes in gender throughout, make it incomprehensible. Your historic notes do nothing to clarify your personal story.
In order to make my review less discouraging, I will grade it with five stars, hoping you will understand the criticisms, and attempt revisions, if you wish.

This was a well written piece. I could really feel the emotion and the descriptions were very vivid. What a horror house to be locked in. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Jaye Bennett
I have worked with mental patients who have graduated to Residential Care status. The poet has written what the institutionalized patients deals with in hospitals, shows their hopes and fears. This poem is very well done.

Comment from Thomas Bowling
A very good story. You liken the horrors of a mental institution to being assulted. I can think of no better description.
echo painfully in the this jail.
An extra word in this sentence.
