I love the artwork, incredibly stark against the picture of the young attractive and purity of the girl. A fabulous piece of writing, I'm not sure if the artwork inspired the work, or was inspired by something read or heard, but it doesn't matter, the poem speaks for itself, well done Lea, blessings Roy

Hi Roy thank you so much I'm glad you enjoyed this one it's actually the picture that inspired the poem I thought it was a very interesting shot even though a bit macabre. Great to see your review and see you here as always I'm happy to receive it and I thank you for it and for your fine writing too I hope you're having an awesome day and your summer is amazing!

Hi, Lea
This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that.
I don't know about anybody else, but I had a horrible time reading your font the letters run into each other. I almost skipped this, but I didn't so I'll try to review it. But, I think you're making a habit of it.
Your poem is very original and deep. I'm still trying to figure out what it means.
I'm guessing she found her way out of the maze, but that maybe it took a while
The ripples at the end could be interpreted as ripples of time or ripples of tears
The only reason I am able to review this is because I copied and pasted your poem into this review window. And now I'll have to delete it again once I'm done with the review
I enjoyed reading your poem
Good job. Thank you for

Thank you so much for taking the time to throw it up and read and off your insightful comments. I also appreciate your time and your fine rating took your advice and change the font although aesthetically pleasing doesn't make for very good reading so thank you for that! For your fine rating for your time I thank you for that too. I hope you have a fine and that your summer is great!
Comment from jessizero
From what I read, this poem is both lovely and disturbing. However, I couldn't read it too well because the font is hard to read. I would recommend that you either change the font or make the current one larger. Of course, you can ignore me. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

My pleasure, Lea.
Comment from CrystieCookie999
This font reminds me of a nineteenth century journal. The tone sounds pretty haunted and eerie. I think it is sort of stream of consciousness in style.
In the last line, I think you want to say: the femurs rise
or else
the femur rises
That way the verb agrees with the subject.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Lea, I found this particular font difficult to read and I don't think I'll be the only one. If it were larger it would be better but, ideally a different one. Your free verse fluently captures the otherworldly quality of the image, personifying the skeleton in this poignant portrayal. Well done, Lea, and good luck! Debbie xo
