Lea,

I see now why many if not most of your poems receive 6 star reviews. You've penned another exceptional entry in the free verse poetry contest. To me you are undoubtedly the hands down a favorite if there were a contest for Fanstory Poet Laureate. You set a high standard for the rest of us poet wannabes and hopeful published authors of poetry books. 10++++stars for another magnificent poem.

All the best,

Eugene

Loved this free verse poem about desire, the holding back or the giving in from safe to exquisite. Great use of descvriptive alliteration used throughout. Well done Lea,

Daily trauma takes an effect on our souls. Thank you for barring your soul with us in this contest entry. It's passionate and heartfelt. I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

I thought language was used well here. It helps a bit to know your background in other posts. It also made me go look up the difference between 'cryptic' and 'cryptical.'
Little fix:
rememberance
should be remembrance

A wonderful visual, clearly you, and this is complemented by your fine, free verse infused with poignancy and pain. Life can sometimes dole out so much to one single person that the burden of it all can never properly be lightened or alleviated. And one is left vigilant and expectant despite signs of hope. Thank you, Lea, for sharing this deeply emotional read. Rememb(r)ance. It's good to see you back. Take care and good luck! Debbie xo

When trauma has been a daily part of our life it sounds terrible to say we miss it, but peace is sometimes so unusual that we shun it. Travelling paths of danger can heighten our senses and when we relax we feel vulnerable. A poignant post Lea. Love Dolly x x x
