This is a gripping piece that helps remind one that there are people, not just "lost boys" who feel as the poem describes. Yes, many of us in the world are "apathetic, dumb and blind" to the very sensitive people of this world. Well done.

Thank you my friend, but with a review like that, who needs six stars?
I am truly honored that you think so highly of my work, it makes it all worthwhile.
Many thanks again,
Curt

What a very tough piece to read as mell as integrate. It is the epitome of 'woe' with no chances and all cards dealt. It also reminded me of flaming the spark of hope in this line-"still the lost boy raises feeble hands into the air, in hopes that someone looking would be kind enough to care. " We will survive or we will not.

Thank you,
I believe there is always hope, no matter how dark and dismal life can become. I should know, I have passed through many fires, only to be reborn again after each ordeal, simply because I was NOT willing to give in or give up.
If I have nothing else, I have tenacity! :)
Many thanks again,
Curt

I must go back and read the first of this because it is absolutely wonderfully done. It is dark, full of emotion and well thought description. One of pain and 'broken dreams' with a hint of hope till memories take over. Excellent rhyme and flow

Thank you my friend, for your thoughts on this piece. I do believe "The Lost Boy" is still in my portfolio, amongst the other scribbles I throw out from time to time.

Comment from marybell1
I enjoyed reading "The lost boy Revisited". You rhymed it well except in stanza one when you added an 's'. This is one of my pet hates. (which you may or may not wish to heed). This does change the ending sound, which I have found many choose to ignore.
All the best

Comment from Thal1959
The writing is excellent, and the expressions are finely tuned, although the overall subject matter is a bit morbid and definitely depressing. It is reminiscent of Poe. "...the agony of my soul found vent in one loud, long and final scream of despair." (Pit and the Pendulum.)

It is amazing to me how many people compare my work to the works of Poe. I take that as a GREAT compliment, since I think he was a fantastic wordsmith.
I am honored by the comparison.

You're welcome - it was my pleasure, Curt... however, please always remember that Poe went mad.

And...? :)

Hi Curt,
What a wonderful, yet sorrowful poem, tightly stitched with heartfelt passion and traumatic colours painted throughout that brings the emotive heart of your words together brilliantly.

Thanks Mitchell,
It was an old unfinished piece that I thought I would get out of the way to make room for the new.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hello my friend
This is a very tragic and horrifying poem about an abused and lonely boy locked up and tortured. Even the presentation adds to the agony and disturbance. Well done.

Very sad, I like all the descriptive imagery you use. The artwork is quite interesting too, looks like an alien? I really enjoyed this, blessings....

Comment from patcelaw
Curt, this is a profoundly written poem that draws my mind back to the days I worked in a mental hospital where there were many such souls. They would sit in a corner and never communicate with anyone. It was a sad time in my working life. Patricia

Thank you, Patricia, for your thoughtful review. I know what you mean, although I never worked in the mental health field, I have seen those you speak about on the streets of LA, and I would think that, "there but for the grace of God..."
Thanks again,
Curt
