Of all of them, yours is the most memorable for me. I loved your use of the word, 'wrung' and the build-up in the verse to the middle section which is so rich in imagery: darkness, fear, 'silk fingers felt tragic' The internal rhyme is exquisite in places and helps carry this poignant story so well to its conclusion when we 're told that, with the end of your childhood, comes a sort of reckoning. This is the beginning of going it alone from your inner sanctuary and that separation (from your sorceress) will be troubled and hard. I hope I've done this fine verse justice. You have my vote. Take care, Debbie

I love this: "When I was young, was lonely and wrung," A great metaphor too. Your alliteration of s's is perfect. The hushing and secrecy: "held in darkness. Sometimes just whispers of air." & more. This may be a healing book for some.

Oh Lea, very powerful and yes many poems tell stories, and vice versa, and this poem was well written with internal rhyme etc that made for a good read. Although frightening and I am not sure what you will reveal over this month but it may well be very cathartic for you. A good start
Cheers Chris

Your words are gentle and flow smoothly into a horrific story in poetic rhyme. Your heartbreaking description of a child who had to disappear from reality in order to survive, is gripping and sad. Your rage will come out in your poetry. Well done so far.

Oh my! I just noticed the artwork is by you. Beautiful. I look forward to experiencing your talent.

As a poem, I'm not qualified to really rate it.
In the day she was hidden, can't come when bidden, his power she couldn't yet handle. - Two she's and one his. I'm confused. Okay. the next sentence cleared it up.
this burden mom married, - (Mom) capitalize
It was then that I noticed, weird things held in darkness, - No commas needed. Period after 'darkness'
where, her rage is attracting her dues. - No comma needed
Best wishes.

This is a story of how the mind can make a place of safety where we can go that no one else can know and we can rest a while. Children who suffer trauma have a special friend who holds their hand when facing adversity. It is a pity you have such memories that make you angry today and it is understandable as domestic abuse can destroy our self-esteem and scar us forever, a poignant write Lea, love Dolly x

    Thank you Dolly for your understanding and for your insight. I believe I'm doing the best and healthy thing I can do for myself. Which is to talk about it in one way or another so long as it's non destructive to others.
    Thank you for your review and for your time. That's always and I hope you're have a great day and all that you wish for are come true!
