very well done. so much said within those few sentences. you are truly a master at doing that. I really believe that it takes a while to be able to exemplify your intentions in the way that you do. Most will not get it but those that do will never forget it. thanx for sharing sis.

A powerful message in which the wind becomes a metaphor for the hostage taker "abducting" the now surrendering hostage, thus becoming inextricably one - "I am heart and wind." Beautifully expressed in this 5-7-5 verse (accurately counted). And is that your fine artwork as well, Lea? Good luck! Debbie

I like the "h" consonance you incorporate in this piece with each line. While the image of wind is often seen as serene or peaceful, your use of the words "hurricane" and "heartless" give it a new, restless meaning. Good luck in the contest!

A fine poem where the writer has power even so, and has the potential to overcome the dominant partner. Technically, I very much liked the way the first line drives the following ones because of its power. kay

An excellent and thought-provoking little syllabic box. There is so much subtext here and your language hints at worlds beyond. Well done.

This is very disturbing topic but it is true, and I reality for tooi many people. I was strong when I was 26 and I escaped such a thing. I was blinded in one eye by what I would learn, it's my first attack of MS, and I had a newborn. Still, I left. I never looked back. I the same for anyone else in such a circumstance. Excellent and important writing. Best wishes!

    Oh Alexandra, i'm so sorry you went through such an ordeal! To be sick at the same time, must have been more than challenging, obviously life-changing and definitely a shock to the system! I hope you are thriving and as well as can be today! Thank you for your kind review. And your comments are always appreciated by me. And I hope your day is excellent, thanks again!

The picture enhanced your work. You described that image so well in very few words.
I enjoyed that description " Harmless abducting wind".
I will remember this next time a hurricane again decides to visit us in Florida.

Very good entry. Only issue is that the last line is only 4 syllables, I sounded them out on a second read and then double checked them with an online syllable counter and Dictionary.com.

"Heart" is one syllable by the above analysis.

Suggestions: "I'm defying heart"
"I'm stoic in heart"
"I am strong of heart"

Hope you're having a great night!!
Brandon

interesting and creative 575
very cool picture, too

one suggestion i have is maybe find a synonym for paper?

also, the black on blue is a bit hard to read
what about using a whitish font for the letters?


other than that, a good write


thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest
shelley :)
