Thanks you for the nice review.
Comment from Cindy Decker
Wow! That's a powerful poem! The picture is loud and twisted, but it is in vivid, bright colors, giving us hope. You've chosen so many words that evoke strong emotions in a reader: compulsion, revulsion, peace sublime--they give your poem a serious tone. Excellent poem, Suzanne.
Good luck in all your contests, and all your writing endeavors.
Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Thanks for your positive review CINDY...It?s fun writing poems as an outlet for suffering which I think many people are experiencing these days. Best to you also! Aloha from Maui. Suzanne
Comment from Tina Crute
Your selected illustration looks like chaos, which is appropriate for your poem about coping with catastrophies. You do well in creating mood that way. Your words remind me of thoughts drifting in and out of a mind. Several of your stanzas are my favorites...I can't choose which one I like best for its ability to describe emotion. The 8th stanza from the end, did you mean, 'positivity?' Great writing. I wish you luck in the contest and in future writing on here!

Thanks for your nice review and for catching that typo error. You are correct..should have been positively. I went in and fixed it.

The past few months have put us on a roller coaster ride with no shut off in site. I think your poem covers the ups and downs of our current situation. Yet you give us freedom; it will come and we can leave it behind.
Good job Suzanne

Thank you Mary for your review. When I first joined this site in mid August, I wrote a poem called HUMANS 2020. It was about the Pandemic. So many people now are trying to cope with the expected life problems along with the situation we?re in with this virus which multiplies the challenges....a lot of suffering going on.
