Welcome! If writing soothed your soul, you have come to the perfect place! This is raw, honest and emotional...

For all you may have endured the Lord has blessed you with a real life muse who sees and hears you and accepts you as you are.

I look forward to more avant garde poetry!

Lay it down as you feel it...

Sometimes the "bumps" are what make it special and uniquely your own!

    Hmmm. Maybe not happiness...but on the path for sure! Self-reflection, purging poison out of our blood on the page, writing of compassion which should have been given more to you, but which you've nonetheless given? Yes. It's the right road.

What a great first post! Welcome and best of wishes in the contest. The conversation that goes back and forth is captivating. Your first stanza has a good attention grabber.

Some of the meter alternates a little which can make it a bit bumpy to read in some places.

The meter in the first stanza sets the flow and then the hard part is keeping that flow consistent or at least minimally changed.

    Thank you for your review!!

    I appreciate your critique.

    I already knew these things, sometimes they just can?t be corrected in words I can find.

    I really do not write with much direction or intent, I just write.

    I am practicing the more proper way of things, but most of my writing is just an outlet.

    I appreciate your compliments as well, I always appreciate those. That?s what keeps me working to get better at what I do.

    I hope you have a wonderful day today!!

    That?s great! You are absolutely right that sometimes it is hard to find the right words and flow. The content of your poem is definitely not up for critique. I think it was well written and said.

    Free verse is still one of my favorite forms of poetry for that reason, to be an outlet!

    Thank you, I understood :)

    I appreciate your reply too, love communication!!

This is wonderful! I love your use of your poetry as a dialogue between two people. The idea of a glass wall is a lovely metaphor. I hope you now have let someone pass the glass wall. Good luck and welcome to this wonderful site!!

    Hey... Have we met somewhere before?? Maybe another review perhaps?

    Thank you, ma'am!

    Not only did she get through, we slowly shattered it down. It's weird out here sometimes, but I like it :)

    I appreciate you reading my work. Thank you for your support as a fan!

I just came across this poem. I enjoyed reading it. It enlightened me with the metaphor of a glass wall, a very creative idea. Recently I became interested in "emotional and confusing" type of poems. I think this poem is fantastic.

This is an interesting and unique approach to poetry. I like it. I can understand someone coming form the horrors of war building a glass wall to keep other out because of uncertainty and fear. I'm glad some gentle person was able to find their was in and start to shatter that fragile glasss. She sounds like someone very special.

    She is someone very special. She both saved and changed my life. Thank you, ma'am! I love the feedback on the odd style! You're not the first! I almost turned it into a short story, but it was loved so much I left it as it came.

    I thought this one was unusual as I was writing it! Something inspired me that evening and my pen just went about its business. I almost thought I'd turn it into a short story, but everyone loved it so much, I left it alone! I appreciate you, thank you for your review!!

    I can only imagine what you are capable of. I started here 10 months ago and have received such amazing guidance and help. I was hopeless in the beginning and now I await publication of my debut novel. Have an amazing day. Jacqueline

That sounds like the right person for you. When we find someone who compliments us as a person and encourages us to share writing or things like Art, they are good for us. But you seem to know that already.

Best wishes and welcome,

Alex
