WOW oh WOW!! This contest entry is amazing. It's filled with passion, descriptions and metaphors. Not only that it's not forced it flow like honey off a spoon. Good luck with the contest, but I doubt you need it, you have nailed this one.

You have met a great poet when she can make the inanimately mundane into beautiful poetry.

In comfort, on edge,
at the mercy of your grip,
clenching and releasing
on a whim.

So engaging, Jess! Best, JohnC

I think there are many times in our lives when we feel like we're hung on an empty chair from high over a canyon somewhere. I enjoyed your free verse very much and I wish you the very best with all of your writing. Patricia.

You use striking imagery and metaphors to describe what you're feeling. It seems as if you are chained to or beholden to a person that is not there, yet whose presence you still feel powerfully in their absence.
Thanks for sharing! Julie

I have never found myself owning to someone in this way. I have always had an inner strength that maintains my core.

Great line:
My eyes drawn
to the sting
of your cold, bent air.

Great fun read.
