Sigh...

You write the best stuff when you feel like this
and it breaks my already shattered heart.

You are a bright light always...and you outshine us all

I love you

Nana, ohhhhhh Nana.

This poem, its something else, it truly is. A part of me feels it is dark and a tad creepy, but then again after reading it a few times, I can sense less of a dark tone, and more of an incrediby sad tone. I have always thought sad poetry brings out the best poetry in people and this is one of those moments.

Your opening line, with the yawning dim night, I love that and Im quite jealous I've never used yawning in that way before.. Creative.

Another thing I want to point out is I hate repitition so much, however I LOVED the way you used repitition in this piece. It really was reaffirming how serious you were about breaking free, get you away from the evil of the night.

Agree with Tara, your poetry always shines bright even if you don't intend it to!

Fantastic word choice, good use of metaphors giving such unforgettable imagery.

This is a very talented poem and although it has been written with deep sadness, it has made a very well written poem which could be read over and over again.

Well done.

I seem to have a thing about sunshine of late and although sad i loved how you used this.

You know already your one of my favourite poetesses here and i agree with everyone above your just simply epic Nana x

Awesome Awesome Awesome write and sooooo deserves a win!!!

Big Loves

Incredible metaphor usage!

Your opening lines in each stanza were strong enough to intrigue me to dig deeper for meanings.

A fine piece of art!
Write on~

Wow, this poem is amazing! First, I remember you saying how you don't really like to rhyme in your poetry, and I love how you chose to rhyme here, it's not so obvious but it really fit well with the poem. I love your imagery and metaphors!!

"For the yawning dim night that wraps itself around me;
if you believe that I'm a new moon glowing through"

^ so beautifully written...

I also love the idea of embellishing someone's face with mirrors..

This is my favorite part of this poem:

"Something about you terrifies the secrets I suppress
so to think my heart of glass would serve as your skin"

^ the idea of your heart of glass serving someone's skin.... I can't explain how I feel when I read this! I'm just speechless!

Congratulations on the win! You definitely deserve it <3

I can't stop reading this piece, over and over again I'm taken away by the sheer beauty of sorrowful and heartfelt expressions within each and every line.

To start: The first line captivated me with the words such as "yawning dim night"---- beautiful word display!

The entire piece is filled with an aching heart that yearns for the darkness to bring light, this is my feeling upon this piece.

I can't help but feel a sense of desperation and within these feelings Nana has continued on with elegance...word by word.
This poem makes me speechless... Well Done Ms SunShine
