This 5-7-5 on something lost, Blinding Darkness, has the right set up and touches on the unbelievable situation of a lost daughter. Words otherwise fail.

This piece is so beautiful and the artwork supports the writing. . .and vice versa. . .the writing supports the artwork. I love the black and white used to make such an stark statement. Nicely done.

This is a well-written poem for the 575 lost contest. It brings back memories of playing hide and seek with my daughter. She was easy to find, but I pretended to struggle. Every time I hid in the shower she had trouble finding me. Lol.

Great job! Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day.

We are never given all the answers in life to why things happen to us. It is hard to understand these things. It leaves us in a place of darkness trying again to find the light we once had.

Your poem is full of the heartache of a mother's loss. I feel so sad for you at the loss, and your ongoing incomprehension as you try to deal with it. Letting the reader into your personal emotion makes for a strong poem of connection to grief.

You've written an excellent 5-7-5 poem for the contest
intense with emotion.
Sometimes the reasons are deep beneath layers of misunderstanding.
Time and constancy will sometimes let the light in.
My best wishes to you
Robert

Hello Mystery Writer,
To lose a child and not know why would be, indeed, traumatic. I hope that somehow she receives the help she needs and your relationship is mended.
Please Note:
Losing as opposed to Loosing

Best wishes!

It is an awesome and incomprehensible thing, the depths and mysteries of the human brain... Your offering does a wonderful job of conveying your heartbreak and, perhaps, frustration of being unable to 'fix' things... Best of luck at the polls! ;)
