It's an interesting start. However, I'm sort of confused. In the beginning, right after she killed her husband, she seemed to be proud of it. In fact she threw a little sarcasm [both from her words and the way she acted] here and there. From what I think is implied, I'm guesssing she was abused by her husband? As I read the last paragraph, her sense of strength just died. It seems as if she now regrets what she did, even though she shouldn't. Your ending paragraph makes the woman so much more...

Is it the sun?

Once again, a really good read. I'm still having trouble finding the main character--there's just too much climaxes in a single chapter which is good, but still a little bad because you sort of "lay it all down" on the reader "too heavily" in between transitions. Nonetheless, this is a really good chapter. Just a few grammatical errors and a little more 'separation of paragraphs'.

This didn't exactly end up like I thought it would, but it's a decent closing. It's a bit too choppy, though. Some lines, I can't really understand. For example "Looking to the life once lived....Not thinking to the past" I think this needs a little more detail in the middle.

I like your emphasis on how no matter what, you always feel like something is missing, and it's always trying to etch its way into the public. Obviously lies should be singular (lie). I feel that this is something that needs a little more detail and when added, you could really open up to your readers more.

This is the first time I've ever seen a poem written in the way you wrote it (the unique repetition). It's a really interesting piece, but I wonder: Why is it that you repeat time in the first, second and fourth stanzas, but you repeat objects in the fifth and seventh? I was caught up in time and lost track when it hit the glasses and cup, and when you stopped referring to the days. All in all, it was a good read.

This poem tells me of a person who has something to say, but can't find the right words to say it. And no matter how hard he tries to say something, it doesn't come out the way he wants it. This poem is inspirational to those kinds of people, and I think it is very well-written. The only part I didn't understand is "...of ire and fire..."

The last line gives it a staggering end, but it still makes the reader think about time. This poem needs more content. In the first line, you say time flies, and in the second line, you say it's slow. Throughout the poem, you only explain how time is slow. You should either take out "time flies" or add in more about how time flies. It seems choppy seeing as how you jump right into the question. Was jumping out at the reader your intention? If it is, try to elaborate more.

When I first started reading, I didn't understand why you entitled this "Hit and Run" but when I read your last stanza, I did. A relationship that moved too fast, and then they break up without a meaningful Goodbye. I think this piece could go a little further. It sounds a little choppy. The first two stanzas make sense together, but I feel that there should be more afterward. It's a good read and I believe the last stanza says a lot alone.

I do believe most people have forgotten the 'overall' message. It's poetry like this that makes people remember. Good job.
