Oh my goodness, this sounds like revenge and our anger can sometimes explode into a fiery tornado when someone has done us wrong, a poignant write, love Dolly x

It's too bad you didn't enter the entire piece in another contest because it's excellent. It also gives more meaning of the the last stanza (which also would qualify as a Halloween/horror poem). Overall, skillfully, thoughtfully done. Best of luck in the contest.

    It did turn out to be a bit more creepy than I thought and I hope I write one as good for the Halloween contest. Thank you so much.

A bit of revenge here! You've risen like a phoenix and are out to avenge the culprit for your suffering. Powerful imagery in this thought-provoking verse. Just a suggestion - since this stanza is now to stand on its own, I thought it might be more effective in your notes just very briefly to give a little background info rather than display the rest of the poem. You could then post the whole poem on another occasion, say. Good luck! Debbie

Thank you for the full poem, Mia , because it gives us a much bigger context - and removes the 'Hallowe'en' component from line four.

Deeply felt rejection feels like the end of the world - or even entry into hell at its most strongly expressed. This at the end of a history of trying and failing to make the relationship work, until we have reached the 'burnt out embers' (Eliot) and nothing warm remains.
My uncertainty is the last line - 'I will come for you' - as an avenging angel? as one who will never give up? sounds like it's too late for that.

Paul

As one would expect from Ms Twysted, this is dark and painful in its theme and contents. And reading the whole piece makes it all the more so. An excellent piece; good luck with it.
