Hi there,

I liked this poem about struggling for inspiration.

Nice use of alliteration in places, good imagery.

An enjoyable read.

Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for the great review.

Comment from Ice Traigh

Good

Not bad. I get the message you're trying to convey, and that's the real goal, right? Basically anything given enough time to rest and recollect itself comes out better and more "alive" when it awakes - inspiration, emotions, us. Keep up the good work.

edit: Apparently 3 stars means "average." I thought it meant "good." Fixed.

Comment from Jeanie Mercer

Excellent

In this free verse I like the personification of inspiration, slipping behind a faded curtain. I'm sure many writers will identify with the sentiments throughout. You use many good poetic devices, including a lot of well done alliteration. I was glad when impotence finally was impaled and inspiration rose again. Good luck, Jeanie Mercer

Exceptional

This is a very powerful poem. The descriptive words in the beginning (a faded curtain

laden with hours

of wear and tear) pulled me in. It is wonderful throughout. Great free verse form. Good luck to you.
