    Ohhh this was so sad, yet so beautifully written, and it's such a shame some people do have to go through this.
    The imagery was beautifully used, created very vivid pictures and the emotion shines through the words.
    Flow as always, is flawless.
    beautifully done.

    Great job on this poem.

    She stands by the door waiting for him
    He'll be home and checking the whole house soon
    She leads such a trapped and unhappy life
    Despite the perfection in every room

    This is so sad. You have captured this with so much emotion. It is sad yet there are people stuck in this kind of life.
    Excellent!
    Take Care Love Cindy

    Gem,

    Wow. That was heartbreakingly sad. What's worse, is that people really do go through this - people do live in this type of trapped life that you described. The flow was flawless, the emotions were clear & strong, & your word usage was great.

    "She stands by the door waiting for him
    He'll be home and checking the whole house soon
    She leads such a trapped and unhappy life
    Despite the perfection in every room"

    ^ My favorite stanza. :] Fantastic job as always, keep writing! 5.5

    Gem,

    Wow, That was beautiful. The rhythmn of the words just fell off the tongue. Somehow, though, I knew this wonderful poem would end the way you did it.

    Very well done.

    Always,
    Jeannie

    OMG that poem was an image, or a portrayal of perfection. It was just... so suspenseful, wondering why she was cleaning the house, then it just hits you at the end and leaves you hanging, and it's just... wow. I know you should win this contest. It doesn't seem forced at all, the rhythm may be off a little bit but somehow, the words you use do not seem to annoyingly disturb the flow.

    This poem is just incredible.
    Great job m'dear.
    5/5

    This poem is like one big oxymoron and i like it. it is so sad that some peoples life are like this and i always hope that these sorts of poems influence one person to help themselves by getting help, and if any do, i'm sure this is one of them.

    I like this peom. It's a shame many people do live like this. They work themselves to the bone to care for their abusive spouses and they can never seem to escape. People love to hurt those who are better than them.

    I liked the ending, but I think you could include more details about the feelings and emotions of the character throughout the poem. This way the poem not only describes how perfect was the house, but also how messed up was her life. You could make a contrast between the house and her life in every line, and that would make this an even better poem.

    Keep writing. I can tell you're a great poet. =)

    What a sickening husband she has married! Urrrgh
    >_<

    And despite the perfection in every room, how can he be so blind as to not to see how broken and imperfect their married life can be! How ironic...

    I better stop ranting now. -coughs- It was truly my pleasure to read this poem by one of my favorite poets. Keep them coming and I surely will keep on reading. Love, Debbie Cakes

    p.s. Yaarr, Idk. This writers roadblock is irritating, although I'm still in the process of writing something new. Thank you for the comment, my dear!
