Scarred my heart; strife?

Pain gnawing the roots of my life!

[Coyote Poetry]

You are correct. Short poem are hard. You did very well with this poem. Anger, pain and being lost in the 18 words. Thank you for the excellent poem.

"pain gnawing the roots of my life" Now that is one helluva deep line.

I thought this was a great piece. It is short, but still powerful. I loved the lines that you spoke within the poem. I could feel the pain within it it to. The picture was also really good. Great write. Thanks for sharing.

Short poems, and short writing in general, can be so challenging. Not to make light of the time an effort that goes into a novel, but to pack that amount of punch into 12-20 words takes a lot of thinking and choosing of words wisely.
You succeeded here displaying true inner turmoil within these words. Loved it.
