Hi. I reviewed your latest and thought I'd come to see your other posts! This one (I can see from previous reviews) has morphed to a lighter background and/or darker font. (This is a problem many of us had when we first came here and it takes a bit of time to get used to all the variations of color, font style, font size, etc,)
The struggles of the human soul comes through. I think, perhaps, in correcting, "wraiths" became "wriths" ~ that's an easy edit. (smile)
This is an esoteric free verse that allows each reader to layer their personal interpreatation on the greater theme.
Well done.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
Your literary technique of alliteration with the s's becomes onomatopoetic. The chosen words with s's effect the sound of air escaping, creating the image of a person losing their spunk. Or idea of fading. Well done. If you would like the link for figures of speech or literary techniques, just let me know.

Comment from Frank Malley
This poem, "The Soul Battle," is damaged by arcane word choices. If "wraith's" is to be used as a verb, there should be no apostrophe. If it's a noun, the sentence doesn't make sense. There seem to be a missing article before "shrug." While novely permits some large experimentation, this poem is just confusing because it loves words more than sense.

I am unable to read the words that you have presented here, however, I am able to listen to them. If you would change your font color to a darker color on the post, then it would show up for people who have visual impairments to be able to read. Patricia

Comment from giraffmang
HI there,
Maybe have a little look at your presentation here. The background and font colours are bleeding together so much that the words are barely readable.
with cruelty wraith's the mother- not sure you need the apostrophe here.

Congratulations on your first milestone post!
Your font color doesn't stand out against the background too much, making this poem hard to read.
However, I copied and pasted it so I could read it, and it was beautiful. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.
