Deep and haunting but realistic feelings. It's like wanting to be a fly on the wall to see the repurcussions. Even though you may feel this person may not mourn, in time, it smacks one in the face. Great expression and your emotions made me almost tear up.
I, personally, have trouble dealing with the subject of suicide, for personal reasons. I wish that I could tap into those personal reasons and create the type of feeling that you expressed. My grandmother succeeded, a lover of mine succeeded, and a friend of mine just keeps trying (he can't seem to get it right.)
I have read a lot of your work on the "Cafe" and I must tell you I like what you are doing. This pome is no different. I feel it is darker than most of the work I've read but it is REALLY deep. I hope it is not a fad that will capture all your works. I found myself wrap up in one subject and had to stop writing for a while. Never the less it is a well thought out work with many strong points. It has great image anad smooth flow. I love the ending as well. It gave me cause to think about what was going on in the metor of the work. Well done.
hello, you entered this in my contest and im so glad i found it elsewhere because i cannot comment it on the contest form. I just want to say that i love this poem. I like how you encompass the suicidal thought and really show "what they were thinking" when people kill themselves. That and I also adore the acrostic form! a lot of people lose depth when they attempt this form but you captured it perfectly!!!
