Rather than repeat myself, I find writing short poems, as your last three, difficult for me to pen. I suspect I am more loquacious, therefore I tend to ramble on. I like all three and will copy this remark to the other two so you get credit for more reviews. Tom H

Lovely and vampiric. The rousing and strengthening spirit derived from these words is feisty. Anti-heroic in nature. A meaningful poem. Best of luck in the contest!

nicely done poem with a nice twisted ending. I like poems and stories that end with a dark twist at the end of the poem. Very well done indeed I share the sentiment.

Very cute and clever. A good message here (smile).

You fit quite a lot in these few lines, liked your imagery, visuals and presentation.

Good luck in the contest.

Interesting little ditty here that gives the reader something to ponder on. We do have the option of sucking life out of our own living as you state in your words. You have created an unusual poem with a great theme.

This is the coolest life-affirming poem I've read lately, dear DD. I so enjoyed this in the message within. I feel the same. I am so sorry I do not have a six for this as I am vanquished. To many tributes here, and you know how that goes.
Sending you my best today as always, and my very best for the upcoming contests, Sally XOs

This really sounds like someone who is not overly happy with the life they are living, very well said, though I think a bit sad this is very well written, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

    Thank you, Kahpot, for taking the time to review my cinquain poem. Interesting you find it sad. The poem itself is about living one?s life positively and to the fullest without life taking over with all the negative grind to bring a person down.

I understand the first part of this piece but in the last part I have trouble figuring out what sucks the living out of life means. Would you please explain it to me? I would really like an explanation as to how you suck the life out of life.
Jesse

    Jesse, thank you for your review and question. The last part literally means to live life to the max and milk it for all it?s worth. Be in control - go BIG or go home.
