Great choice of illustration to highlight your melancholy words. You write well and your message is very clear. Great word choices such as, "warp and churn", metaphors for a car wreck as that may be exactly how you feel. Great poem.

Well written poem of the pain of lost love, and I enjoyed your powerful words. Except for the last rhyme which seemed a bit forced. Otherwise a powerful read. Best wishes for the contest.

This is a good and colorful entry into the SAD poem contest. The text is a great size for reading. The message is presented with clarity and is easily understood. You use great descriptions for a broken heart in a relationship you once trusted to be more. The spacing of text in your poem box is imbalanced. Drop the first line down one space so it matches the spacing at the end of your poem. Your visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.

    I thank you again sandra for having a read of my phone and offering your kind and helpful suggestions for which I am greatly appreciative! I have noticed The 2 lines of 2 will not come together for some reason as I've been playing with it so I'm going to try something else hopefully that will. Correct the matter. Once again thank you again for your time and for your review and I hope you have a great day!

Wow! There are sooooo many excellent lines in this entry. ...squeezing, bending crippling snare... ...my soul shouts in blended whispers...

Even your title knocked me out. You have captured the carnage of a ripped out heart beautifully. Beautifully? lol This is EXCELLENT. I even like the art you chose to go with this.

Extremely well done. Good luck in this contest. Lynda

That poem was about an arthritis suffer and death. It was sad. The visual imagery was astounding too. Why can't people just live life content and approach death without suffering... Great flow or rhythm and rhymes. Excellent work :)

Excellent poem entry for the Sad Poems writing prompt contest.

It's very sad and it reminded me of the grief when a relationship ends.

The rhymes and meter are not forced and they flow well.

the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

Wow. This piece surely relates the disappointment of someone with greater hopes than were delivered. I understood th gist of it, save for the last ... unfinished sentence.

A great job and skilfully written, I love the alliteration my friend, the sheer sadness of life that is woven into this very moving post, you've really engaged the soulishness and that feeling ofvteetering on the edge. Great near rhymes and rhymes, good poetry, well done, great entry, good luck, blessings Roy

This poem, Carnage, seems to describe some pretty awful goings on that would certainly start at sad and then proceed rapidly to OMG WTF !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Hi there! First of all, I LOVE the picture you chose! It caught my eye and pulled me right it! Awesome choice! Love the words, "Weep and sigh wondering why, Break and bleed with hopeless cries.." I feel that internal struggle you write about. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all.
