    I didn't really get the poem but that didn't mean I could enjoy the beautiful word choice that made this poem hit hard at reality. The repetition was perfect, rare to get sometimes, and it didn't annoy me but made me like the poem even more. Nothing seemed forced and everything flowed right. Your vocab range is strong and each of your poems hold so much vivid imagery.

    You have an awesome imagination. I understood your poem very well. Was it about a woman losing her innocence? Or something like that is what I think it's about. I give it a 5/5 dear. I love your vocabulary and style. I could feel how she was a dainty little snob. Lol. Good job.

    This is nothing I've read before - I liked the way you described the woman in this poem and I am intrigued to learn more. The phrase "wired skin of drinking straws" was very interesting it conjured up some vivid ideas....what does the phrase mean to you...im curious...Nicely written....original and entertaining in every right.

    girl
    this is amazing 5/5

    letting go of the past something bad that happened and not being able to cope.

    Great peice, well written with some great metaphors within. i had to read it a couple of times to get any understanding from it, but that's good as unlike many poems upon this site the meaning is not thrust upon the reader but hiden so that the reader must work for it. its brilliantly unique and very well written.

    5/5

    Sondos I know I already commented but I have to agree with Bob Shank. You are one of the few people I've read on here since I joined that has talent that could get you pretty far if you so chose it.

    Like everybody else I thought it was teriffic, the rhyme scheme, word choice, story, and so on. I loved reading it, but then got to the end and felt let down. You built up a wonderfully metaphored story ( forgive me for pluralizing a noun), got the the climax, and then just ended with what felt like a half hearted denuemont (or however you spell it) and wrapped it up with the first stanza. If I had payed money to read it I would have been glad I had, but then at the end wanted half of the fair returned to me because I got three quarters great and one quarter not there. It ended abruptly and I think you need to add another stanza or two of something between the climax and the end. I am not sure, but you are obviously a great writer and thinker and will be able to find what you need.
