This is exceptional Curt.
I'm so glad I got around to reading it. I can see why it was (deservedly so) poem of the month. Brilliant in touching the feelings. Brilliant in form. A message for all.

Comment from sugardog
Wow. Very dark, dark, dark. It makes me feel so sad for people like the one in this poem who surrender themselves to this way of life-drugs. You did an amazing job on this and the rhythm and rhyme make it read so perfectly. Even though this was heartbreaking to read and not typically what I enjoy, I did enjoy how well written and full of emotion it was. Spectacular job and deserving of best poem of the month. Dana

Thank you Dana,
It wasn't that easy to write either, as are most of my "dark" works, but I have to purge my soul somehow of these emotions.
I am truly honored.

Well, it was an amazing poem. Dark works are never easy to write. Take care, Dana

I am new to this media though I have written couple of short stories. I have no negative thoughts or offers suggesting improvement for I do not see how or where they would be worthy.
I found the offering disturbing in the fact it is repeated through-out this land and the world. This of course is nothing new but your poem is and "struck home," with me.

Wonderful and sad tale of someone who used drugs to hide from memories they never meant to find.
Superb writing!

Comment from bard owl
This poem is amazingly graphic and should reach in cognizant being of all who read it to shake them to the core. Drugs and satanic reasoning are synonymous. Your rhyme and rhythm are without flaw and the imagery is horrifying. Dark, dark, dark. I certainly can see why this poem took first place. None of the others come close. Blessings, Linda

Thank you Linda,
Evil is what it is, the same as good, a choice we make as individuals. That's the beauty and the horror of free will.
I appreciate your thoughts,
Curt

No wonder this won the contest! It is truly exceptional --simply outstanding. It is deeply disturbing, both in subject and in the fact that we do want to ignore the situation. Thanks for reminding us. ann

Thank you Ann, I am honored by your rating and your comments.
They say that real life has no equal in fiction, and I find that to be disturbingly true.
Again, I thank you for your most geneous rating and for your heartwarming thoughts,
Curt
Comment from Janelle
Congratulations on your POM win Curt, it is well deserved. This is such a heart wrenching and confronting poem on the desolation that is experienced by so many, all around the world, due to the evil substances that ruin and eventually destroy lives.
You can't help but think that 'tho this man's death is such a tragic one, the life he is leaving behind is so incomprehensively debased that he is better free of it.
It is just so sad that one seemingly simple choice, has led him to this point.
Your words are powerful, riveting and dramatic, painting a picture that screams with the detail and emotions of the drug addict's lifestyle and then his inevitable death.
The rhyme and rhythm add strength to this work and you should be proud of this effort. Well done, regards, Jan. (I truly hope that this award has put some sunshine in your world right now.) :)

This is a poem very worth of being selected as one of the best of the month. Your words and descriptions are powerful, maybe monstruous. A real slice of life hidden.
