I enjoyed reading your poem very much. It is cleverly written and very well thought out. It must have been very hard for the family to have to go through it all again.

Poet,
Your poem is very well written with good imagery painting a picture in the readers head. Your art work is gorgeous of the lavender orchid. In your poem your rhyme is great. You did an excellent job with metaphor and a good job with alliteration. I enjoyed your lines: "Responsibilities viewed in deep retrospect Defendant denied no wrongful neglect." It's so sad red flags weren't seen about Michael Jackon's doctor scripted drug abuse. I wish you good luck in the Empathy with Grief writing contest with your thought pondering poem. I'd recommend your mighty fine poem to other reviewers. Keep on writing with creativity. Please have a lovely day...Missy.

This poem is very quiet in tone and thus seems respectful. The rhyming couplets flow softly from stanza to stanza with a hush that seems to signify the end of this ordeal. Although the poem is short it does present the important details of the trial. I have just one question about line 6. With the double negative you are not saying the defendant denies wrongful neglect, but the opposite. Am I reading the incorrectly?

The TRAGIC Situations began long before Michael passed away. It is amazing when I see how much of a soul we demand form our famous people. People become their fame and only their fame. We drain them dry then try to place blame when they are used up. Good Work.

I did not know that iris lavender droplets are a symbol of tears. I'm sure his family already had enough sadness and for him to die unjustly is truly a crime.

A cleverly thoughout
out poem, presented in
couplets, as you speak
of Michael Jackson's
family and their long
struggle. Let's hope
they can now put their
pain to rest.

Cool take on the empathy/grief prompt. This is a well written poem and I wish you luck in the writing contest. I too was troubled by the hows of how Jackson died. This line best sums it up,"Responsibilities viewed in deep retrospect "
