    I enjoyed this poem deeply, from start until finish it held my interest painted a beautiful chant like flow. The length of it was perfect, short yet you expressed everything throughout it easily. Your word choice simple yet elegant, I loved the smoothness of this piece. You opened this poem with strength and you ended it with strength. Nice title btw. Well done. A great read. ~Mel

    Hmm. its very peculiar. I like the depth and the emotion. it has a split side, like a cute ness and a serious ness. I dont get the structure much, i dont see one. i mean it rhymes at first and then fdoesnt and has different amount of lines in each stanza, but i think with a little editing it could be very good

    Amazing. i think that you should change this
    "The things we dont want the shadows seem to cover
    so we run in fear
    as one thing we believe is another"

    to

    "The things we dont want
    the shadows seem to cover
    so we run in fear
    as one thing we believe is another."

    i think it looks better.
    great 5/5

  • This poem was absolutely amazing. I think in the second stanza there was a little mistake with the lines, but other than that, it's a great poem. Very well written. Good job.

    Well this is an interesting topic to write a poem about, I can't say I've read anything like it before.

    "Denial flees once we understand
    the cold dark truths that are actually at hand."

    I thought the pun "cold dark truths" was quite brilliant.

    Keep writing.

    Interesting, but a lot of it I really don't understand. I'm not sure why, maybe its just that the transition from one stanza to another is a little too sudden and more should have been written to really get at the point in between. But who am I to judge? Maybe its just the AP English class-goer talking.
