A good entry in this bookend poetry contest! This is a good bookend to the previous, on the same theme but added adjectives enlarging on the previous, well written, well done, blessings Roy.

Thank you kindly. This was a good idea for a contest I thought. Quite a few good pieces submitted. mikey
Comment from Leineco
(bookend)
(bookend)
SOULS
damaged
crushed- betrayed
plaintiff cries- dismayed
shrill mocking laughs invade
failed quest- sought good intention
"closed eyes leave death as redemption"
An interesting clarity poem - I like the intention, but find that it misses the mark on one of the "rules" of a clarity poem
The last line is 8 syllables, and is in quotations as this line contains a quote that defines the first word (title). I just don't feel your final line could be taken as a definition of "SOUL"
As a paired set of poems, I thought they complimented each other VERY nicely though :-)

Yes, you are correct about that. I'll have to take a look at that and see if I can change it. I became caught up in the theme and attempting to match the rhyme scheme also. Pleased that you liked it overall though. Thanks for the great review!

I like this heart & souls thing. That picture steals the show. She looks cold with a cold stare. She has no emotion, she is cold clay. This is fantastic, you done a great job with the book-end. Talent.

Both of the poems are great and they fit well together in the "bookend". All rules have been followed. Good luck to you in the contest.

This bookend does indeed stand strongly on its own. The connection to the original is dtrong and they work well together... but unlike most of the entries the second piece stands alone with great power. Excellent. NG

Thank you. A good contest idea. Fun to find something and then give it some new life.
Comment from adewpearl
Both poems are in good syllable count and structure for the Clarity Poem
I wish you had used the same rhyme scheme in both
I love the way the themes interrelate
impassioned expression of emotion

The rhyme scheme bothered me too. I let it go as it said what I wanted it to say. But, now it bugs me! Hahaha. I changed it to match the first one. Thank you for mentioning that. I think it's improved now! :)

I guess we should heed the warning signs if someone is crying out for help, not ignore them, which is what happens in some cases. Good use of language and imagery to express your thoughts. Enjoyable read, good luck in the contest. Faye

Thank you. A fun contest. Happy to dust off an oldie and give it a little new life.

Hi,
Nicely formatted with a great piece of artwork. I like the difference with one bookend, the heart, while the other is the soul.
Well done. Good luck in the contest.
Cheers,
