H
ow
does
o n e
survive a
b r ok e n
h e a r t ?
How do you
go on with
y o ur lo v e ,
your life in
t a t t e r e d
p i e c e s ?
I know it's not
e a s y, because
I w a s there.
But I survived.
After a month
of not eating or
sleeping, I found
t h e strength I
needed to go on.
I'm not sure exactly where
it came from, but I grabbed
hold of it and
v o w e d t o
never let go. I also
promised myself
that I would never
have to survive
anything like that
again. Now, I don't
know if I can keep
that promise t o
myself.

Great work on this contest poem.
I always did like your intuitive abilities and your creativity and imagination.
Keep up the good work. Good Luck.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Rich

Thanks Frank, and I realized my mistake too late. I wanted to post a graphic of a heart with a dagger through it to accompany this poem. It made more sense that way, but I forgot that you can't add the picture while the piece is in an open contest, and I had already entered it. Oops!

Considering that it's an experimental piece almost removes it from the ability to be be critiqued. Almost. What I will offer is that the form, shape, physical appearance of the piece doesn't reinforce the poem, itself. I thought the presentation of the poem in such a short space, covering the emotional attitudes with supporting lines, was very well done. ^^

I've mentioned elsewhere, that I generally support experimental efforts. I do think, however, that the form should reinforce the poem.

Your work is always good, BJ. ^_^
