This is unique because you took what the artwork held and explained it with your outstanding and clever mind. I vote this first. Way to go.

This was a creative response to the contest prompt. Artwork such as the piece you've chosen can be interpreted in an infinite number of ways. No two people would see the same thing in it.

I come to this review in blissful ignorance of the true nature of depression - clinical depression that is. Most of us have been depressed but that is not the same thing, so I'm told, but what do I know? I can only judge from what others who do know have told me.

But somehow I don't think they know either. As a listener, each description usually has something I can catch hold of. Here it is the rope but no one, not even those who have taken their own lives because of this thing, can really describe to another what it is like.

I guess you only find out when you've got it. Me? If that is the only way of finding out then I don't want to know.

Blue can bring many emotions and feelings to the front. Some shades of blue have a cold feeling others feel heat or fresh. All the shades together touch your heart like a symphony.

Jeezus, pleazus, Shelley. You've described what goes on just about every night inside my head after I've fallen asleep. That's if I'm fortunate enough to fall asleep.

Holding, clinging, clutching for that rope of hope.
Clawing, desperately, dutifully, drearily, up from the humdrum doldrums of delirium.

Yeah...been there, done that.

This is a very emotive, emotionally driven free verse offering.

Well done...
~Dean

I'm not sure where to go
with this, loved the art and
could understand your poem.
Your word choices word descriptive
and carried the emotional content
appropriately. Good luck with your
contest. no nits etc. Lora

Really descriptive colorful vision of what might be a nightmare. The colors are so vibrant in the picture and in your writing. I love the image of holding on for one more day. Very well done.
