This piece was sad to read, but well done. I liked the second stanza where she begins to hope of change.

I saw no significant corrections to be made.

Good job. ~healfromwithin

    Thank you... I wanted to tap into the inner most feelings of a woman lost and trying to come to grips with what was lost. I am glad that you found it appealing enough to read again :-)

The poem does what is looks like it is supposed to do - simply tell the story in the way the narrator wants to tell it - by just writing it. Very desciptive and easy to read, despite the lack of any form. Gret job.

Hi Ricouard
I too am a fan of Mr Poe. I think this has much of his music too it. Although the pedant in Poe may have picked up on one or two spelling errors. I recognise the emotions within the poem and that line between madness and reason, restraint and the wild hearts that lie within.
Powerful stuff, and very readable.

Well it does flow, and it is very well constructed and written. Your meaning is clear and although, sad, it contains hints of the possibilities for this woman---that she might find a way back to that part of herself, because she desires it so.

I enjoyed it very much and found nothing to change. I have a poem called "Inner Child Delights" posted here as part of a multi-authored book titled "The Child Within." Mine isn't so melancholy, but a lot of the same type of terminology, etc. was used in that piece. Your poem's lady should read that one, maybe it would help her...

Great work!
Penny

    Thank you for taking the time to read and review my work. I am thrilled that you were able to catch the full meaning of this piece. She struggles to fight and win back the innocence, life, and love she needs to continue along, yet clings to the hope she will succeed.

"She walks upon rivers of rainbowed tears
and touches the bitter cold of a frozen heart-"

Oh my, two in a row.
Very vivid imagery from this piece.
Alot of strong emotional thoughts come through this work.
Pain upon pain of trust lost in childhood...how sad.
A time for healing and a life regained.
