Comment from Gloria ....
This is a wonderful loop that even forms a complete loop with the first word of the poem also being the last.
Your metre and rhymes are perfectly done and the sentiment is something we have all struggled with.
Really nice work and I wish you all the best with the Contest Committee. :)

Well, no WONDER you won Poem of the Month! Look at talent that just emanates from every stroke of your pen!! This is gorgeous (and I usually DETEST Loop poems because I find them so annoying for their repetitive nature.) But yours I find luminous, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it from beginning to end. (Okay - I even read it TWICE it was so good!) I hope this finds its way to the Winner's Circle, Miss Talent! xoxox

hahaha Trust me, I understand completely. I honestly can't stand loop poems; most just seem forced to fit the form. I just explained this to Mrs. KT while reviewing her loop (that she mastered, by the way... duh).
Thank you for making my day, Beautiful!! Xoxo

This is a beautiful entry for the Loop Poetry competition. I haven't tried this style of writing, but it's interesting and I enjoy reading it. Your poem does a great job of incorporating the repetitions so they flow naturally and don't make the lines seem awkward and choppy. The presentation and rhyme are excellent. I like it very much. Well done!

Great job with the rhymes and the looping in this challenging form! This poem gives me a reflective mood that ends with a resolution to leave the pain of the past behind and move forward treasuring the love the narrator has today. Best wishes in the contest!

An excellent entry for the Loop poetry contest. This is a lovely example of a loop poem done in 6 stanzas, The smoothness of the poem is not affected by the required repetition of words. Very nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

Boy I wish I had a six for this Jessica. This is a really fantastic entry for this difficult prompt. You even managed to loop the entire poem beginning to end by rementioning your opening line at the end of the poem.
Bravo Jessica and good luck!

"Around the Bend" Please, don't go there.
"Pierced holes that haven't healed just yet." Oh, the naughty imagery this conjures. :-)))
"Loss is a knife that carves the space,
Space for the morning sun to pour" Good metaphors.
Nice loop poem. Good luck in the contest.
