I was one of many children who grew up in “the system”. I didn’t really know anyone in my family. The ones that I did know passed away. I believe the total right now is my mother, 5 uncles, grandmother, several friends. I have lived in many foster homes, and even more group homes. I was diagnosed with PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) at the age of 9. I have lived in many states all over the country, and finally find solitude in Connecticut. Not because of the state, but because of my state. I am at a wonderful place in my life right now. Most of my poetry was written when I wasn’t in such a great place. I originally wrote for myself as a release. I do have a couple pieces that I have written fairly recently, “Sweet Kisses” and “Epiph…

The Brink of Insanity I. So what can I say today Except that I am going insane As my brain Slowly swells itself Pushing against my membrane Therefore causing me To go so insane. Pleading with the abuser Who over and over Continues to use her And no one tries to help They all turn her away Which then forces her to stay With such crude and alienistic creatures That proceed with their Carnivorous acts. Better run for my life Hitch a ride on the rainbow Run from all my strife Dig that knife a lit...

So, some of you may know this and some may not. When I was younger I lived in many group homes and foster homes. When I was 16 I lived in one in Falmouth called Cape START. While living there I became friends with a girl named Nicole. We used to talk about everything together. One day we were having this conversation and I asked "Why?" (as in why does everything bad happen to me, and what did I do so wrong to deserve this.) No, I don't mean in the self-pity sense, I mean honestly wondering wh...

Repetitious Behavior Rollin, I’m strollin Come on now, let’s keep going No stopping or stalling Cuz life is a calling Creating frustration What a situation My mind is a creeping With thoughts I’m keeping Feeling like I’m folding From memories I’m holding Happiness is overrated So mis-communicated Things I’ve indicated Or previously stated Jealous of the sane Who handle their pain Feeling so needy Hating the greedy All still so painful Now needing that veinful Feel it going in Back at the star...

I absolutely loved this piece. I am from Cape Cod and have a strong love for the ocean, and sailors. The words that you used were perfectly descriptive of how I always thought the ocean to be. So beautiful and inviting, yet at the same time, so dark and mysterious. Almost ominous. I loved how you used the colors of the sunset to describe what great creatures may lie beneath. Also, when you spoke of "veined paths" what a great description, for anyone who has had to operate a boat on the ocean....
I don't think I am understanding the point of the poem. Or, I guess, the message that you are trying to convey. Where were you heading with it. General Stone, General Clay??? If they are from history, that would explain my not knowing. I was never any good at history. I think, maybe, if you left some explanation in the "notes for reviewer", then I would be able to have a better understanding. It has peaked my interest though.
I don't really understand the rhyming scheme. It seems as though at times you rhyme, then at others you don't. Although, this may have been on purpose as it was every other paragraph that rhymed. I think the stanzas that do rhyme seem a little forced. They just don't flow for me. Maybe it is the way that I am reading it. I will try again. I did like the piece, howevery, I think it needs more structure and focus. The title Melancholy is great. I do like where it is going and I think it has gre...
A good review with a low score, is like a good compliment about service with a low tip, or no tip. I served for many years, so I understand the feeling. On another note, you apparently have some unresolved issues with religion. Religion is not always a bad thing, as the people involved in it are not always bad. However, I can understand how it can seem that way. I think what happens is normally you only hear about bad things that involve religion. It is like the news. How often do you hear ab...
