This poem, Alone?, written in a diminishing iambic heptameter and ABCB rhyme scheme, reveals the soul feeling the cold walls of the insular dwelling. Finding another person to share a life requires leaving the space and accepting the chances we must take to achieve relationship.

This poem paints a vivid Picture of a person with you frightening internal isolation. It truly defines a mental state of loneliness.
The verse with Mom's wisdom is great, though it breaks away from the focus on the internal state of mind..,
Well done.

    Thank you for this very nice review. I tend to agree about what you said about the mom comment, it's just that my mom really did say that and it came to mind. Thanks again.

There is someone for everyone and I hope you find yours. The darkness is a short retreat don't walk that way, for then the beast will laugh as he gets another soul. I like your poem feelings are everything. This is a good entry for the Loneliness contest.

This poem has a good rhyming scheme. I especially liked stanza five. Attitude and depression can play a role in loneliness. This well-written poem makes that point. I like the photograph you chose for this theme.

This was a really good poem. I really loved the flow of it and the dark imagery which really made the message come out in a dramatic way. Nice job of writing.

You've written and excellent rhymed poem for the loneliness contest.
That search for someone can be daunting,
even though there may well be 'someone foe everyone.'
Finding them is the trick.
Excellent use of alliteration as the "s" words trickle down the page
Well done
Good luck in the contest
Robert

Playing with shadow may bring in such thought of feeling loneliness, because the truth is not easy to be caught; well said, well done. Thank you for sharing. Keep Writing Inspire Changing -- DR ALCREATOR

This is a cleverly written and haunting piece that you've written for the loneliness prompt! With rules I can't understand, is the line that really jumps out at me and feels relateable! Best of luck in the contest!
