Forever Sore

Great work..deep and emotional..keep up the good work-=)

I enjoyed reading this

First line, i thought the PIT should be plural to match the use of TREES; either they should both be singular or plural. Minor detail, but worth mentioning. I think the PIT / DEFEAT rhyme was too forced here. Either rhyme them all or none, buy these lines did not ryhme very well and it affected the flow some.

I liked the second stanza a little better than the first, it helped to set the mood of the poem better. I didnt like the repetition in the last line here, CRIMSON RED STAIN. Crimson is a shade of red, i would not use both crimson and red. I thought that you could use another adjective instead of using RED, maybe MY LIQUID CRIMSON STAIN.

Moving to the third stanza, i thought that more of the story should have been revealved here. Readers can tell that your in pain over SOMETHING, but you need to keep the readers attention by continualing revealing hints as to what is causing the pain. I couldnt tell if it was a lost love, whether you had a bad day or your cat got ran over. This is the halfway point of the poem and i couldnt tell what the basis of the write was.

In the closing lines, i did not care for the MY LIFE ONCE AGAIN LOST line. You can only lose your life once and this line confused me a little. I had to re-read the previous lines to see if i missed something.

Overall, the poem seemed incomplete. While the poem was good, i could never tell what it was about. Are you upset about a specific event from your life, like a lover that you lost, or are you depressed in general. I think that you should add a specific event to the poem that is causing the pain.

I did like that it seemed a little random too. You didnt force it to conform to a specific timeline or even a specific train of thought. I could tell that the thoughts randomly flowed from your mind to the paper. I do think that you have some good LINES here, but it seems like a exert from a larger poem. Maybe add a few more stanza in-between the ones that you have to clean up the imagery.
