    This so much reads like a mourning over something you have lost, a feeling or a person...very sad and much longing for things forever lost in between the lines.

    Beautiful read, I am impressed.

    Hugs,

    5/5 Ingrid

    "Lonely walls along the street,
    boulevard of quivering trees
    Distorted hope quietly sleeps,
    caressed by decepting breeze "

    ^^I really enjoyed this opening stanza, I found the imagery and depth to be quite beautiful, pulling me into the piece, and I can't wait to continue on.

    "Smiles dissolved into horizon,
    dreams framed upon a tear
    Frosty glares, piercing sigh,
    eyes cry incessant fear. "

    ^^I'm finding this piece to become better and better as I go along, I really liked this stanza and found it to hold almost as much power as the rest of the piece together.

    "Scourged by the nightmare
    whom should I forgive?
    Can Somebody take me home
    the Home that once lived? "

    ^^I found the flow to be -slightly- of in the last line. That being said, I adore this closing stanza, so moving and powerful, something that stays with the reader.

    Apart from where I mentioned, I found the flow to be flawless throughout while the imagery and content melted together for an enjoyable read.

    I loved this when I first read it....and what a beautiful entry for the contest :)

    Lonely walls along the street,
    boulevard of quivering trees
    Distorted hope quietly sleeps,
    caressed by decepting breeze

    Thes lines bring a sadness to the heart. Great imagery and word choices.

    Scourged by the nightmare
    whom should I forgive?
    Can Somebody take me home
    the Home that once lived?

    It seems when we are away from our home.It is where we long to be....but the home we leave as we grow...is always still the same it is us that change after we have left.
    Excellent job!
    Love Cindy

    Another outstanding piece, loved this stanza the most:

    Smiles dissolved into horizon,
    dreams framed upon a tear
    Frosty glares, piercing sigh,
    eyes cry incessant fear.

    'dreams framed upon a tear'

    i really dont know how to appreciate this line.
    keep writing!!

    all the best and take care

    "Lonely walls along the street,
    boulevard of quivering trees
    Distorted hope quietly sleeps,
    caressed by decepting breeze"

    Excellent opening stanza, this is extremely captivating, as the flow is flawless and the rhyme grabs the reader fully into it.

    "Smiles dissolved into horizon,
    dreams framed upon a tear
    Frosty glares, piercing sigh,
    eyes cry incessant fear."

    Great imagery and descriptions, very in depth and meaningful.

    "Scourged by the nightmare
    whom should I forgive?
    Can Somebody take me home
    the Home that once lived?"

    I love these questions, really makes the reader think, a very thoughtful write.

    5/5 from me, very deep emotions and the whole way this was one of the most beautiful pieces I've read, keep up the great talent and work! Take care and God Bless!

    by The Prince

    This has some very strong lines, the title being one of them, the last line was paticularly striking.

    'Lonely walls along the street,
    boulevard of quivering trees
    Distorted hope quietly sleeps,
    caressed by decepting breeze '

    This stanza had incredible flow and rhyme, the assonance works to a tee. and the adverbs were placed correctly to your advantage, and the language was high frequency, but it didn't confuse or baffle me, so well done there.

    'Smiles dissolved into horizon,
    dreams framed upon a tear
    Frosty glares, piercing sigh,
    eyes cry incessant fear.'

    One of your strongest traits as a poet, is your ability to create magnificent flow, yet still maintain the message and imagery. None of the rhyme here appeared forced and I loved the first line. 'Dissolved' is a fantastic word.

    'Scourged by the nightmare
    whom should I forgive?
    Can Somebody take me home
    the Home that once lived? '

    I think you might benefit from putting a comma after the 'home' on the third line, as it jolts the flow a bit. But a magnificent ending. This poem was short, and sweet, and the ideas carried were executed fantastically, well done.

    Beautiful poem, really well written
    its flow and rhymes are amazing

    "Lonely walls along the street,
    boulevard of quivering trees
    Distorted hope quietly sleeps,
    caressed by decepting breeze"

    I loved this stanza, every word was perfect, nothing forced and it took me places.

    'Smiles dissolved into horizon,
    dreams framed upon a tear
    Frosty glares, piercing sigh,
    eyes cry incessant fear.'

    This stanza spoke of dissulusion fading to regret. And it made me feel it. brilliant

    'Scourged by the nightmare
    whom should I forgive?
    Can Somebody take me home
    the Home that once lived? '

    Just amazing the sense of longing that you conjure in this is just awesome

    Beautiful

    Very nicely done. If I can make a couple of grammar suggestions:

    deceptive breeze
    where I once lived

    by Meena Krish

    Distorted hope quietly sleeps,
    caressed by deceptive breeze

    Smiles dissolved into horizon,
    dreams framed upon a tear

    These four lines run deep & I the way how
    your emotions are pinned with nature. This is
    a touching piece where tears can be felt..take care.

    by Not Enough

    Another excellent poem. See, I can understand this poem, some of your oters I couldn't at all really. The flow was good. I think it was off on a few lines, but it's okay. The emotion is good as well.
