This work has reached the exceptional level

I enjoyed your writing. My favorite was verse two. Your words seem to paint a picture. I think anyone should express their own style of writing, but I am not sure about writing varied types in one writing.

A very particular poem and so very interesting. A challenge to the reader to read all over again and reflect. Keep up the good work and goodluck for the contest.

I love this. The short lines make the pace fast and urgent, especially in the second part.
The presentation is very good.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

At first I didn't like the 4 different parts being together as one poem but at second look it came together better for me.

I really love the 1st part and 4th part. but...I also like the childhood chant feel of #2.

You use great enjambment, imagery and presentation.

No rules contest - yes! I might have to enter this one:)

Good luck Mikey!

This sounds like the most free from restrictions style of contest there could be and your poem in four parts celeboaters that very well.

Rich in exceptional imagery this fire metaphor is extended in several directions. I particularly liked the flashes of light in Part 2 that reminded me of those huge mirrored balls that revolve above the dancers sending out random flashes of liget onto the dancers.

Well done!

Hi Michael; this is a lovely suite of poems about ashes, love, and anger. The order in which you placed them takes us from the depths of anger into a state of love and almost happiness.

These are well presented and wonderfully penned.

Good luck in the contest,

~patty~

A lot of different aspects in this piece. But the central theme of thinking of a love that is past comes through all four. Why cry, many reasons but it always comes back to love.
