Comment from Gloria ....
I think you have well illustrated what must be the physical sensation of bipolar disorder. The colours all mixed together and then finally black with its absence of colours inexplicable in its arrival and yet intractable during its stay.
Just one suggestion and that is regarding line lengths. I think shorter lines might make this easier to work with, but it's also fine just as is.
Wishing you great luck with the Contest Committee and many thanks for sharing.

Gloria, thank you for your understanding. I do tend to get a bit wordy. Thanks for not holding it against me in your review.
Comment from Dawn Munro
Ooh, first I am compelled to address your content -- I am sorry you feel poorly -- if I could, I'd crack some wisecrack remark to (possibly) make you smile, but instead I just feel so bad for you! I have a lot of bad days too -- Chronic Pain Syndrome, which often likes to dabble in anxiety and depression as if the physical pain isn't enough...
But your poem is wonderful. The title too is what made enticed me to read it! Great choice!
Here's wishing you more joy, and the best of luck in the contest!

Chronic Pain Syndrome can be debilitating. I have a good friend who suffers from it and she too battles depression and anxiety. My heart goes out to you. It is a constant struggle for her each day. I am so sorry you suffer from this disease. May the Lord bless you and bring you some relief. Thank you for reading and understanding my story.

Comment from dragonpoet
Ramona,
This poem shows how much bipolar disorder and hother forms of clinical depression totally change your life. I hope the color comes back to stay soon. This also could work for Altzheimer's.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Goo luck in the contest.

Well done in a casual personal way. It's like you're talking to friends. I'm sorry you deal with bipolar. My family member does too, so this helps me to understand them in a new way. Thanks for sharing. You're very brave and talented.

I'm sorry you're suffering from this disease, but I commend you on being able to use it in an artistic way. I liked the simplicity of putting mood swings into colors. Regards, Lilly

Comment from Katie Mae Dead
Hi Ramona
I am bipolar as well and I applaud you for sharing.
You've done an excellent job with this poem. It comes across a bit.more like prose but that works.just as well
Love.the ending as you repeat your opening line. It kind of gave me the creeps
Very effective!
I got a lot of help from the concept of mindfulness, meditation and deep breathing. Look up a man by the name of Elkhart Tolle
Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Michele Harber
You should be very proud. You took the darkness in your life and found a perfect outlet for it in your very honest poetry. Your poem is very moving, and truly brings the reader into your world. You stated that you "start things but ... never seem to finish them." Well, you certainly finished this, and you did so beautifully. Writing is one of the best types of therapy there is, and I'm glad you found your way to it.
