    Good write...
    Its well written ..
    "Hands frozen to a frosted window
    Like a wet tongue hanging from a pole-
    Dressed in white like a bride-to-be
    Upon a broken pedestal."

    ^^I liked the first stanza most..it rhymed so well....

    but I culdnt grasp the meaning of some lines... :)

    overall a nice write...

    keep writing...

    I love this poem! I loved the use of Apollo (I am a slight fan of greek mythology ;) and your choice of words throughout the stanzas went very well with the poem and the tone of how it was written. Great work!

    "Hands frozen to a frosted window
    Like a wet tongue hanging from a pole-"
    -Wonderful simile. I like the comparison. :)

    "The flies gobbled them up one by one
    And charged at my limp face
    Sometimes leaving a smudge upon the frost
    As a brown haunting print."
    -Nice wording, imagery was great here.

    "All the hopes and dreams from long ago
    Spilled forth from the table of ruin
    And all the gold shining trophies and happy photos
    Ripped into pieces until nothing

    ...As I am second to none... "

    -These have gotta be my favorite lines. :] I love how you ended with your title. It makes so much sense and a great way to end your poem. 5/5.

    I loved your 1st stanza. it drew me in completely to your poem. while some of the lines were a little confusing to me, i loved the overall poem. your choice of words had an amazing effect on the tone. it was very deep. excellent job.

    This is a well written poem. The first stanza drew me in, and was actually my favorite I think. [: Your vocab usage was superb, and the fluidity was nice as well. The metaphors in this piece are beautiful! What a different and refreshing read.

    Great job,
    keep it coming!

    This poem has an amazing freeverse flow and the imagery delivered the emotion "Like millions of flies set loose from Hell"
    I like it

    Wow. Everything about the piece was great the only line I though needed something more was this one.
    Apollo fell from the sky-
    ^^
    For me it didn't really go with the flow but that's just my opinion. I thought even though it didn't rhyme (which I rarely do) I was intrigued. A lot of poem that don't rhyme are all over the place but this was really good.
