This is just beautiful. The raw emotions that are left here are quite powerful, and you've been able to harness them just enough to create something with them. It is a powerful work that is easily relatable. I feel that too many times we don't give anger enough credit for it's power to be creative, but this proves that wrong. The structure is nice, repeating a question is brilliant. I'd love to know what sparked this gem to be written. Thank you.
it was an interesting poem, I found myself questioning the motives of the writer for warning her friend in this way, the key line for me and the only indication of the truer feelings here is in...knowing you left us all behind. This is a good vent though, if I had a friend like that, I would use this to get it all out but not send it, then I would sit down and write what it feels like to be suddenly put on the back burner, to be left with a big hole where your friend used to be, to feel angry at the way I felt ignored...etc. You realy got me going on this one. Thankyou
An exposure of something that would otherwise engage us in a private identity of ourselves is a terrible loss. But as Lewis Caroll says in 'Alice,' if you're too far out in the ocean, you might as well swim to the other shore. Ostentiously, there's another new identity out there, still private and personal.....a rediscovery of innocence. Nice write!
I commend you for the voice of this poem. You certainly presented the pain of losing a friend like this.
Constructive Criticism Time: It could have been more...personal? It's a heck of a balancing act writing a poem that one can relate to, yet at the same time, is the writer's voice and personal story. If I didn't have the author's note, it would have been more of a "general, i can somewhat relate to this" poem. Perhaps you could dig deep into this personal matter, this (hopefully closed) wound, and tear it open, and let it spill out into the poem. Just some food for thought.
