Good job! A very impresive poem. I love the format. The colors are beautiful and so is the picture. I would make the font lighter so it stands out more.

    Was working from advanced editor. Had to take what it had to offer.

An interesting metaphor, MoonWillow. Memories are like the sound produced by vinyl records played on an old turntable. They distort across time so the strong emotions of Love and Hate ramp up

"regrets
in
distressed decibels-
stuck in stereo."

An intelligent poem, sounding deep-felt.

I miss my old vinyl record collection. Love the line 'warping memories':) Great alliteration in distressed/decibels and stuck/stereo.

Nice! There is something special about a good old record player. And worry about scratching it! I thought you did a wonderful job of bringing back those memories for me!

This work has reached the exceptional level

I really like this free verse poem--mostly because it's a real poem--not just flat prose with odd line breaks.
You have a created a true poem. You've carried your theme through without stretching the limits of your analogy.
I think this is very well done.

If I may suggest, 'Warping' but be more appropriate than 'Wrinkled'. Just a thought.

Peace, Lee
