I felt sad at the beginning of your poem. Not far from where I sometimes stand. Thank you for a better ending emphasize more on the positive aspect though.

    Thanks Awatef, I appreciate your kind comments, I am just wondering why you give such a low rating? We are supposed to give a reason, what we don't like about the poem, if we give less than five stars.
    But I do appreciate your comments.
    Love

I like the artwork. It matches the confusion in the words.
It is flowing on the most part but a couple of lines seem too long.

I think you need the word not after will in the last stanza.
Also You could just say "I see pieces of myself scattered on the ground" and just "the good and the bad.

Keep writing

Pupa,
This is a very expressive poem, sharing how hard it is to pick up the pieces of your life when you've been so stressed and weighed down with worries and pain. Sometimes doing it in small steps takes longer but you feel stronger and more confident when you're put back together. And it sure feels good knowing you did it yourself!
If you're feeling down, please remember your friends here care about you.
Thanks for sharing this with me.

This work has reached the exceptional level

"But when I can't use my already strained muscles,

I take a look at my scattered self lying on the ground,

select good parts to work out a new chart."
I'm so touched by this poem. That stanza is my favorite because it just sums up my past year. So many things fell apart for me in 2009. I was right there looking at my scattered pieces when 2010 arrived, and I did work out a new chart for this year. So far its getting better every day.
You touched me with this piece. Thanks so much. Leigh

Hey, Pup: Don't you know that you can hurt your back pulling weeds. It's hard on the fingers too. So, I order you to do nothing in the garden but smell the roses. Same as I have been advising for a couple of years. You desrve it.

Luv.
Rob

    Thanks for your kind comments,Rob. How can I smell the roses when they are not around, but maybe if I make an effort and look for them, I would find them!LOL

    Grow your own-I do. Or maybe you are looking so hard, you're looking right over them.
    luv,

A cleverly and unique diagnosis of
life, crafted in poignant words
of feelings when one feels so let
down, and then the realization that
it is up to you to have the sunshine
come in, weed out those feelings that
are bringing shade to your beautiful
garden.
Poetically and stylishly presented.
A tale that deserved six, but alas
for some reason, I only have five.

PUPA,

The theme was very nice. The flow was smooth. Well chosen words, colorful arrangement and wonderfully decorated thoughts.

I saw no SPAG and no typos. It was very clean.

I am looking forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

This is a very well written poem. I like that you rhyme after each stanza. It has an unusual flow, which I also like. It is expressive which makes for a great read. I enjoyed reading this very much. Excellent read, God bless you!

I like the creative rhyme scheme here. This poem ahs a certain beat to it and most of us can relate to feeling down and then working our way back up.
