I am having mixed feelings about your poem, but the bottom line is quite favorable. I kept thinking that it was too long to achieve maximum effectiveness, but each new line or series of lines advanced your concepts, so it does seem incorrect to stop until the real end gets here.

    Yet, I might assume somewhat dry in its presentation lacking refreshing features for reader -somewhat delightful in interest. Thanks for over generous rate and well recieved comments

Punctuation would have helped me get to grips with this poem. It was hard work. I am finding it very difficult to work out the Fanstory marking system - so if I have inadvertently done something wrong I apologise.

The is a like to stream of consciousness taking me on a fantastic journey, there's so many varied thoughts all at once, but it's a fantastic voyage, very clever and as I'm reading it in the early morning, a lot to absorb. Great language, the descriptive imagery is a wonderfully varied, like a clash of drums, I enjoyed the journey, well done, good luck in the contest, blessings, Roy.

Wow, what a mixed bag of expressions, but I liked it. I liked how you have swung from the light to the dark in such unique terms, praising the joys of life while shutting away the sorrows. A very interesting poem that was a joy to read.

This is a wonderful offering that you have presented. I like the content and the message. It allows the reader to feel what you feel. I would suggest the formatting of no breaks makes it very difficult physically to read.

This poem is dense with meaning and juxtapositioned wording that seems to contradict the emotion it evokes.
'Pour hot rich molting lava flowing gold
hope in glass a shattered vessel broken'
A theme of endurance sided with some angelic aid seems prevalent. Great stuff.

This writing I do not know quite what to do with.

So complicated, big beautiful words.
Much truth and inside a ringing of emotion.

yet making my head spin.

Great!

This work has reached the exceptional level



Wings of joy stretched to shadow over me
Great line, nice alliteration


Make me hold my waist tight: laugh aloud
Have you thought of using a little enjambment like
Make me hold my waist tight--laugh aloud


All in all some fine poetry. Great assonance and a chopper style flow. I liked it a lot. Please explain the close here though. Sheltering knowledge of harmony. Nice semi assonance in knowledge and harmony

    Thanking you for generous rate, views and insights in comments
    about the work and I do appreciate these thoughts of assurance. I
    took your advice and revised poem hoping to rid it of this so called
    chopper style with an addition phrase to enhance thoughts
    conveyed in poem content lines. As for explain the close here
    though. Sheltering knowledge of harmony. I thought peace in
    silence because my work is created to inform me plus chopper style
    hold special occurrences or events. I called them notes.

    Oh Awesome! Yeah you have some great raw talent. Use this site to hone it. It's an amazing place to do that! Try some different styles. Do a haiku or write in iambic pentameter. It'll help a lot.
