Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
You had me totally involved up to the end of line 7, then I thought the next seven lines were a little distracting, a little extreme, and I lost the thread. The final two lines however were very strong, a good ending, Giddy

What a dark write.
So much anguish in each line.
It is interesting viewing life itself as purgatory. I am sure many would agree with you.

Great poem, Deepwater. Seems like a struggle between good and evil, the good path and sin, yin and yang. But you conveyed it so much better with your writing. Enjoyed.

Comment from LIJ Red
The words are not strange to me, nor the concept of purgatory as a postdeath place of penance. My mind hunts
for a symbolic link...the free verse is fine and the mechanics are fine so, five stars.

Comment from Supe
This is a heavy, compelling piece. It moves smoothly, reeking havoc in its wake. You truly have a talent. Entirely
opposite of the last review I did for you. It is nice to see you are recognized by so many. I prefer lighter, but I enjoyed this. Nice write.

I liked your poem although I do think it's a little deep for my taste. I do think it's well written and the photograph you chose to accompany it was amazing.

Comment from Selina Stambi
What of this journey, cast in the pits of anguish,
Can we rise as the phoenix?.. that's the million dollar question, isn't it?
The terms you've used are very interesting - purgatory, karma, the phoenix ... from different streams of religious thinking.
Food for thought and points to ponder!
Have a great week,
Sonaliu

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Right away I was struck by OUR soul... as if the soul of a nation, not an individual. And it's all there: loss of faith, desire for revenge, forgiveness cast aside, etc. You'd think by now, in this supposedly civilized world, we'd have risen a bit higher than we have. Frankly, I hold out no hope for this phoenix to rise from the ashes... too many self-inflicted wounds will lead to death, just as has always happened throughout history.
