What a sad and lonely write. As Brandy says "Your words show your character"... A great write. I'm afraid I'm terrible with titles (Just take a look at some of mine)... I do like the one Brandy has come up with. You'll find something.

Hmm, I'm not very good at titles either. But this was a really good poem Laura, title or not. That's how strong your writing is.

Laura: I'm Very Dissapointed In Myself For Never Taking The Time To Read Your Poetry, Its Brilliant, Its Diffrent, And Its SO TRUE! I'm Not Sure What Inspired You To Write This Piece But If Your Inspiration On All Your Poems Is As Good As This One...I Have Alot To Look Forward To 5/5 xoxo-Nikki-xoxo

This was beautifully written and very provacative to the human soul whether ex cons or the onces who were never incarcerated.u give hope to all with your preception of what it feels to be behind bars. continue writing and this was a great piece of work.

Laura...whoa...I think I was just pushed off my chair with this piece! I mean...I have so much to say about this but dont know where to start

I'll work backwards....the ending...THAT LAST LINE WAS SO AMAZING...what a way to end a beautiful written yet sad poem!

I loved your rhymes I like to read poems with bigger words and wording because after a while you get tired of reading the same stuff you know!

I loved this poem it definatley deserves the five! great write!

Wow. This was really good. The opening stanza was brillant. I really liked it! This is prob one of the best poems I've read lately. The way you placed your words were great.

You use a wider vocab range than some I've read here recently. I don't know what else to say about it except maybe read it over tosee if there's some words you can take out without changing the meaning so the lines don't run as long.

Beautiful job, great choice of words. It would be easier to read if your lines were a little shorter

Wow, so deep and a great message for all the ppl like the person you are writing about. It is so strong and great. I really love that poem.great job
5/5

I loved this poem!! It is so sad yet true!! Great job. 5/5

A well written poem. A very interesting subject, not something you usually expect in the friendship section. You used creative language and your rhyming was good apart from in the first stanza where I thought it seemed a tad forced.
The lines are a little long causing the poem to drag on a little.
Overall a good poem.

You definetly conveyed you message very well. Loved the poem. Hated what/who it talked about. Nobody deserves a friend like that.

I absolutely loved this!
The imagery and vocabulary you used were astounding.
I thought the flow was good, and the rhyme scheme worked very well.
Excellent work.

This is powerful. The message is true. Most of the time criminals are not offered the help they need to become productive members of society bt their release date. Instead, they are taught to be professional criminals by the company they are forced to keep while being locked up. Sad and heartfelt write.

Wow another great poem. I loved it. The emotion within was outstanding. wonderful write, you are truly talented.

Peace, Joe

This poem, was good. The rhyming was great. But the flow was bad.. some lines were too long some were too short.. over all I would give you a 4 .. but i don't vote lower than 5 .. so.. just read it over at check your flow.. Great job on the idea though
