Comment from tfawcus
A fine poem for the contest, Lea, with some interesting slant rhymes and a slightly fractured metre that is so much in keeping with the theme. I've never been a great believer in that saying about sticks and stones, for words can hurt one deeply. Good luck with this one in the contest. Keep well.
All good wishes, Tony

Comment from Pamusart
Hi, Lea. I hope you are well
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!
There is exceptional rhyming in this poem
The meter was pretty good and it flowed well. Most lines started with a soft sound, but some started with a hard sound. That is what caused the meter to not be perfect
I hope this is fiction because I hope you have not been hurt like this. And it does hurt.
You did a good job of expressing these feelings. I hope it helped.
Here one's
" loved ones guilt no chance to fight"
I enjoyed reading your poem
Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Hi friend. I really liked this piece very much. And needed to read it even more.
Thank you for sharing . Also the picture was spot on.
I believe I let the chaos of the world get the better of me. It kind of shut me down mentally. I have not been writing much. But ill be back. Have a great life. Than for sharing ...really.

Hi it's nice to see you here! I missed our little chats! Thank you so much for reading and for hanging in there with me during this time I'm 50 chapters into book two Spectre. I hope to see you again and let you hang in here with me. I hope you have an amazing evening too thank you!
Comment from Pearl Edwards
Your rhyming poem, twist, is a reminder of your biographical stories, the hurt and the trauma you went through Lea. This time it's their written words doing the harm. Well done, and good luck in the contest.

Hello Lea,
this is a great rhyming poem, I just wish that it didn't reflect the feelings that you have, justifiably. Plastic ears- that's quite the picture you paint there gal. I may have to borrow that phrase some time. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest.
Blessings,
Tom

Comment from Jim Wile
Beautiful, Lea. This poem would make a great page at the beginning of your book about family and upbringing. What a haunting reminder of your story, which had me so enthralled. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Loved the picture and the very consistent trochaic tetrameter meter you wrote it in. - Jim

Hi Jim nice to see you here yes book two is well on the way I'm just waiting on green light from a publisher as to whether I can continue but since there's already most of the book there I don't see a problem with continuing it book two called specter will continue shortly. Announcement coming up feeling I'm always happy to see you thank you for your awesome reviews for hanging in there the whole time with me I appreciate it very much!

Congratulations on finding a publisher for it, Lea! This is an important story that needs to be told.

Thank you so much I appreciate that!
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This book is the culmination of so much anguish and pain during your childhood and beyond. With a strong heart, you've fought for survival and a reckoning with those perpetrators who hid behind their corrupt, bureaucratic walls. Now the time has come and I can hear the satisfaction and relief in your powerfully expressed and moving free verse. Well done, Lea, and good luck! Debbie xo

You're absolutely right as always! It's even to have the inside line on what I'm writing never a bad thing. Appreciate your insight your comments your fine rating. Thanks for your time as always hope all is well for you have a great night!
Comment from DJ Allen
I loved the cadence and pacing of most of this poem, but it has some deep meanings that I feel have two or three or more levels inside the poems words depending on how they are read and that is certainly what most writers strive for. My poor brain doesn't catch on to all, but a read or two through the poem gives more mental suggestions to some additional meanings. Mind provoking and most likely done on purpose, well done!
