OH MY GOD...this is such a phenomenal write and so breathtakingly beautiful...

The emotions this has evoked within me...I can't even form any words...just...WOW!

(<3)^love button has been clicked...like...a million times.

This is just lovely...I signed in earlier simply to nominate it only to find someone had beaten me to it. It's a very honest, raw and emotional write and...if it's not on the front page next week then I will be on here making some serious noise!

Bravo Maryanne...it's really quite beauitiful...

Maryanne, This poem is so honest and real and i love the story you tell here. I truly believe that the best poems are not filled with cliches or metaphors, its based on reality, and you have written this well.

Mary Anne,

A truly wonderful piece of writing, very much enjoyed reading
Much love

A very honest and lovely write. All the best

MaryAnne, what a write! I was blown away. Honest and heartfelt. I love your brutal honesty in your writes of late, I feel they must be very liberating for you and for that I am so very happy for you!

An honest raw piece bravely written. It's not easy to lay bare your soul but you have done it magnificently. Best wishes Milly x

Judging comment:

This poem is very raw and honest; filled with vulnerability in every word written. Sometimes it is not really about what the poet writes but more about how they make you feel - and you have made me feel both blue and calm at the same time (and this, to me, is incredibly special).
This deserves the full score for your courage and sincere truthfulness in it. Keep writing. :D
