I admired your emotional poem and its dramatic title plus presentation. You made the reader experience the horror of the scene, and your final line is memorable with its image of the "perforated seam of sobriety". Best wishes in the contest- Joan

It's often said for a reason. "Never drink and drive."
Nothing good ever comes from it. Sure, you might get away with it once, twice, or even a hundred times. But eventually, it's going to catch up with you. And when it does, it's not going to be good.
Good entry for the Emotions Poetry contest, Anonymous Poet.

Dear Mystery Writer,

A good -but horrible--entry for the contest. The scene you paint is tragic and sad.

One q: should 'confusion' has that 's'? Suggest either:
--> confusion paints. (Or)
--> confusions paint

Thank you!

WOW OK, I've lost, so no need for me to enter! "Seeping urine" you describe horrible accident might have been induced by alcohol. Crimson colored blood is vividly told verses that flow down the page with tragedy and horror. Good luck in contest. You got my thumbs up. truly, liberty justice

A very well-written poem. We enjoy life in many ways, sometimes we endulge too much and when we go home in a state of too much. We may blackout forca moment and meet the end of our lives in a second.

Hello,
Thank you, for selecting my artwork. I'm honored.
Your poem is full of images and emotions. I wish you luck in the contest -- I hope you do well. Hope it doesn't have meaning close to your life.

    Thank you for use of your art. 30. Year member of AA, so I am well aware of these tragedys.

    Yeah. My mother died of alcoholism. My brother had lost his license due to drunk driving. No tragedies, but I hear you.

This certainly accomplished everything that an emotional piece was set to accomplish. Me, as the reader, became immensely attached with the multitude of vivid imagery pertaining to both fear and pain. For example, the use of "soaked with urine" was powerful, and supplemented the ending of "sobriety" appropriately. Well done
