So, in my veins, I welcome you
Within nirvana's reign o'er me
Yet tangled by this devil's brew
Heaven-bound, my destiny

you have depicted addiction well with this verse. Sad story it is and all too prevalent.
Good choice on the photo.

thanks for sharing your art with us.

A friend of mine's son left this world with his last fix that was needed to still the spinning of this world. For those who do not have a relationship with their maker, the needle, bottle, sex, or whatever is their only solice.

True to the form and structure. Your lines are very good.
I like the artwork, but it is not pretty.
The reality of this poem is not pretty, too real, too contemporary.
We all need to read this a lot. It is a warning.
Well done.

Excellently writen poem about a very nasty subject matter. I am glad you were so precise with your author notes, explaining the rhyme scheme. It tells a sad story Kay

This is a very well crafted poem and the poetic form does not seem forced at all! Well done. Your words say so much about such a terrible addiction.

When I was out there using I never liked Heroin, but I saved one of my friends on more than one occasion from overdosing she is still out there dying slowly and its sad, the ravages of drug abuse, will it ever end? I doubt it the pharmecuetical companines are the biggest dealers and we see it everyday with commercials for this that and a third. I like the way Chris Rock put it in his stand up there ain't no money in the cure there's money in the medicine. So sad that we are governed in this way and look to escape.

Well done in following the set pattern. And the repetition of the lines in describing this subject matter seems a natural thing. Good choice of sdubject, good rhyme and rhythm. Good job.

This is just one big punch in the gut of a poem. The pantoum form with its looping pattern works well with the thought of an addict getting entangled in this repetitive pattern of abuse, just strung out and waiting the next fix to be strung out all over. The flow of the poem works well, the word-choices are strong with the sad realization that this nirvana and bliss is all false.

I don't quite get the pattern of this poem but it's an excellent piece. A horribly tragic addiction with what can only be a sad ending. The picture and gray colors you chose enhance your verse. Well written and emotional.
