FRACTURED AND INTROSPECTED TIME

"Firstly, Pixie, presuming even half of the poem is personal I feel for you. Let me make a few comments and observations. My novel, THE PRICE TO PAY is on the Inkitt site, but I have always loved poetry - reading it and writing it. Personally I most appreciate 'real poetry' with metre and rhyme, but I acknowledge that poetry is the most subjective of writing forms, and in their various structures they can touch the reader and convey all the emotions. For me it is an excellent discipline where the idea, or its essence, is distilled into a box and then opened in the most meaningful way to you, the poet. Impossible to really use a star rating designed for novels to examine a poem, which is why I put 3 stars for all. I liked many of the ideas you expressed, the emotions you raised and questioned, and it seemed in some way your own examination has been cathartic and in confronting your own feelings and the background you have risen above at least some of the pain. I wish you peace and happiness and self acceptance. Eric."
