I like your free verse catharsis about a moment in time where a connection was made with love and how past and present are coming together in the poem leading the character through different stages of grief and guilt and then finally to acceptance. Good Job.

Comment from Ulla
Hola, Marival, it's such a beautiful but very sad free verse poem. It's about a love that once was, but that has now gone forevermore. Instead of love it's pain that has become the companion.
It's so wonderfully written. Good luck in the contest. Un abrazo, Ulla

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Wow, you really go for it with how it feels in the middle of the night when you are missing someone who used to be close to you! The descriptions are intense and so poetic are the scenes you set with the moon above you looking down on your pain. Pain is difficult to express and yet you do it beautifully. As you say in your notes the free-verse poem moves to the rhythm of natural speech.
I love the gentle and moving self-talk you do when you go through the feelings of letting go of your past lover and into comforting yourself and your painful feelings.
Well done, my friend!
Thanks for sharing your deepest thoughts and letting me share what came up for me when I read them!

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This beautiful, expressive poem vividly describes how the past can invade our nights, making sleep fitful with those memories of when love blessed life. I like the positive turn--the use of personification to put pain to bed.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Really nice. Loved the font, though how you got to use it is a puzzle. I have searched and copied from my desktop but when transposed it returns to block lettering. Love the black background too. Again, a puzzle how to achieve.

Comment from royowen
We humans need some form of confrontation to establish boundaries, and then that may lead to more intimate relationship, and that is the most satisfying thing in the long run, an excellent free verse, you are good at these, well done, blessings Roy

Comment from lyenochka
Wow! This is so well done and it's like three different poems - like a symphony. The first part covers the inability to sleep, the second part reveals the ex is happy with another and the final part is the personification of the pain that the narrator is resolved to live with, caring for and nursing that pain, because it will not go away and it's part of life now. Super job and I hope you'll do well in the contest!!

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This is so intensely beautiful and so intensely sad. It makes me cry that someone must suffer so much longing, so much pain before the passage of time will begin to free him or her from a wonderful past gone awry.
