Your poem was descriptive and well written. The rhyme scheme was well chosen and enhanced your message. The cadence was deliberate and marched us to the end.

OMG! You're on fire girl! Two fine pieces in one day! This is powerful and oozes pain and angst. You create some very vivid imagery, the 'bleeding piece of meat' is so raw(no pun intended). Impactful verb choices. Well done again! Liz.x

A very visual poem that flowed well and had good rhymes. It is a reminder to all, the Hurt and pain caused by others who do not think. RJ

Hi, Jaq

The colour mix is a bit difficult to read for my old peepers, but it matches the artwork perfectly.

Very dramatic outpouring of sad emotion. The flow is generally good, but just a couple of tweaks would improve the [da-DUM-da-DUM] meter. For example:

Chains around my damaged heart.
In place to stop it breaking?
So much TO TAKE, AMAZING pain;
My life'S there for the taking.

Ripped AND shredded, torn asunder,
Bleeding piece of meat still beats.
Unsure rhythm slows AND ceases,
Losing life as beats retreat.

Cold, hard chains can't save my heart
JUST AID ITS (NOT 'IT'S') sad demise.
Tighter now drawn SO MUCH closer,
Killed by HATING, CHEATING lies!

You're a natural at meter, and with a little practice will becoma an expert!

Nice one.

Best wishes, Ray

    I took another peek, Jaq.

    One line is still out with one too many syllables:

    'My life there for the taking'

    Easily rectified as follows:

    [my-LIFE-is-THERE-for-TAKE-ing]

The poem sends a sad message. The picture goes
very well with the poem. It is very fitting of my
heart today after a weekend with my disrespectful
son. Sure helps me to overcome my sadness. Thanks
for sharing.

Wow,there is a lot of pain in this poem. I love the image of a heart without love being nothing but a piece of meat. This strong and succinct, and combined with a superb image, makes it's point very expressly.

So very beautiful Jaq. The raw pain is so evident in the writing. It's very descriptive and captivating. The picture compliments the writing well. Treachery, hate, lies.....
