Hello ee,

This is a fabulous poem :) I love the shape your words take on the page. Terrific insifghts into a soldier's thoughts while on the battlefield. My dad was a tank mechanic during world war two and I can't imagine what that was like. He survived without a scratch. Absolutely amazing. I enjoyed reading your poem today which brought out many memories and emotions of my dad.

The marching rhythm of the language here combines with the brilliant imagery to create this moving articulation of mental illness, of the fears that haunt us and hold us in their dark grip, keeping us locked in these little dark rooms. It really reminds me of Blake, and his ability to relate these surreal experiences of the spirit. estory

This poem, Endless, Parts I and II, is a work of great design, with alliteration and metaphor throughout. The tone rises and falls, but seems to remain dark. Hard to pin down an exact meaning, but the mood appears to be one of discontent.

My takeaway from this is it is a warrior battling the demons of PTSD. I picked that up from the references to the muddled mind and worrying about the pit. Your poem rhymed, made sense, and invokes emotions within the writer. Very nice job.

I must say, if I am going to write poetry as good as this, I am going to have to expand my vocabulary. I had to look a few words up. It was worth it though. Correct me please if I am wrong, but I believe this is about someone who must give in to the darkest places of their inner soul to do what must be done.

This speaks the story, as you remember, how being a soldier, you had to kill all those even the friends in the battlefield for the sake of duty and commitment; well said, well done. Write inspire change for 1234 Years--- DR ALCREATOR

I feel almost naive whilst reading a text that so clearly touches on a subject matter I hopefully will never experience first hand. At the same time there are some universal feelings that are simultaneously articulated in a complex and simple fashion and it is in this that I find my satisfaction.

A couple of the final lines

I cannot find the strength to seek
The shining sun so bright before

were extremely satisfying for me.
A good work.

A very well-written poem about fear. We are just human and fear will try to take hold of us from time to time for many reasons, we need to be strong and fight against the emotion of fear until it is gone and we can step into the sunshine again.

The shinning(shining) sun so bright before,
