Oh, this is so sad to read. What a heartbroken poem this is. It leaves me almost bereft of words. Linda, I do hope that this is not biographical. It's wonderfully written. Ulla:)))

'Broken' is a very discriptive poem and also very depressing. I hope it isn't autobiographical. Very well chosen artwork to enhance the powerful words.
Take care. Jen.

Broken - and you used the airplane anedote to describe how someone feels who's been put through the wringer too many times. Good poem to bring this home.

I do hope this isn't true for you, but just an artistic creation. Though it is true for too many, there is always hope. This is very well done, I saw nothing that I could add to improve it.

Hello Linda. The picture used is very expressive. It certainly sets a mood for the writing.
Your descriptive narrative of how broken "feels" is quite good.
You compare the feelings of brokenness to things we can all identify with. Excellent poem. I like the way you constructed the phrasing.

Robert

Powerful, Miss Linda. In many ways, we are all broken at one time or another. It is true strength that reaches past the brokemess and begins to move us to live again. Sending you my best today for this marvelous work.
Sally xoxo

Hello Linda, this is a well written, but very sad poem. I do hope it is not biographical. Good use of simile in your first two couplets. A very revealing picture which tells a story of misery, without words. A good poem and I enjoyed the read. Warm regards Dorothy xx

This is so sad and touching. The human spirit can take only so much abuse and then it shatters. Hopefully some tender loving care over time can restore some of the salvageable parts. Nothing is impossible...
