Whew! Congratulations on your well deserved win! This is a beautiful, sad, and very powerful poem with perfect use of artwork. I hope you will submit it somewhere - it deserves to be read by many, many people. (Especially older kids)

Excellent turn here from a mirror capturing all that is beautiful and innocent to being used as an enabler to a tragic death. This is a well thought out write and cleverly executed. Though shocking there's a smooth transition from the light to the dark. Nice job.

    Thank you for the fantastic review and the gracious six, Lynda. Yeah, I'm sure this made many of the people on here disappointed, lol. They expected happy pretty crap and give them something real to ponder. "Oh no, the poem turned and now I hate it. Click away, hurry, click away." Haha. Who cares. Reality happens. They just don't like to face it on here, their make-believe poetry site, where everything is sunshine and kitties. I dearly appreciate the big sixer, L. I'm glad you liked the piece. Thank you again. Have a wonderful day.

A very sad story..is it based on something true? Nevertheless it happens all time.Their are so many victims of addiction, not just the one addicted but also the families and friends. This is a very well written and emotional poem. Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for the fantastic review, Boogie N. No, this hasn't actually happened to anyone I know, but has been true for so many people. That would be the greatest burden, being a friend or family member. I really appreciate the generous stars and good luck wishes. I'm glad you liked this dark piece. Have a great day.

I honestly did not see that twist coming. I liked the realness of this poem. I liked the way the story was told. The length and flow were good. Good luck in the contest!
