Wonderful expression of deep hurt and also the belief in healing. Very good rhyming and the vivid picture seems to accentuate the intense feelings described. Facing our own pain can be difficult and shocking. Nicely done!

Reality can be a bitter pill to swallow, no matter how pretty things may appear on the outside - the autumn leaves, lovely birds. It's how we feel inside that matters. We might disguise the pain, but we are screaming. But as you say, time will heal. Thank you for sharing your insights.

There's a neat twist at the end of this one, when it is revealed to whome the scream belonged to. The artwork amused me as at first I couldn't make out what the garish colours actually depicted. onve I had seen the cardinal and separated him from his background i couldn't see why I had ever been confused.

    Thank you, Pantygynt for your lovely teview and high rating. I took a big risk with this painting. Most would not choose to use the same background colors as the Cardinal. But, they are red because they blend into their natural habitat. I have been complimented for taking the risk and fir how, in spite of it all, you can still see the bird indecently from the foliage. Thank you fir noticing. Take care

    I feel sure you have been a victim of auto correct with this hilarious clip from your reply to my review. "...you can still see the bird indecently from the foliage". Pornography rules in tha Holy Catholic Church once again it seems. Lol.

    Lol. Not sure what I meant. I think it was distinctly. The bird was distinct

Good visual imagery created. Well thought out with good visual imagery. Clearly written. Good flow of rhythm and rhymes. Psycho-Thriller... Eerie poem. Good work.

This is an interesting verse of understanding self.
You speak of hearing a scream coming from an unknown source and then realizing it comes from within.
Well written, well said. Thank you for sharing this.

The verse created a vivid imagery of poet's loneliness lost in imagination when he/she realizes the reality of his/her own self; glad it ended positively; thanks for sharing.

I like the vivid images used and I love that the poem has a surprise ending. I enjoy when the beginning of a poem draws you in and sets a mood, but you don't fully understand where a poem is going until the end.

This is a wonderful poem that displays pain and anguish. I think that sometimes nothing else will do. It has to be released from your body into the air. At least that's what I'm getting from this poem. I like the excellent flow and message. Well done.

This poem was very strong. Powerful wording and an unexpected person screaming. A captivating and enjoyable read that was quite original.

A very well-written poem. A sunny day, dries yesterday's wet from the rain. The leaves fall from the trees and someone scream. It takes a while to realize it is your own scream.
