she gently places her fingers onto the smooth ivory keys eyes trained on the pages in front of her, poised to that first note. brow knit in concentration. deep breath in..... she plunges headfirst into the keys too late to turn back now. melody pouring out of her like rain on a tin roof close your eyes..... for a brief moment she forgets the lines and notes on the page. her problems her peace her deepest fears her smiles her arguments her fight her love her pain, joy, suffering, hope within t...

Love. was an understatement to her anomaly her enigma for how could love encompass her passion? .............her obsession.......... the need and want it gave her inside a proverbial wild child tear perfection into art no one understood her need to feed off inspiration desire two lines away from gratification a wicked smirk painted on her lips while the Bic pen furiously darted across line after line after line after page after page after page she could never show them this kind of attention ...

her fingers gently grazed the now-forming bruise on her left arm no one knew how it had gotten there (and she would lie about it until the day she died) they wouldn't understand but she knew she knew all too well he looked at her in disbelief she knew he wouldn't remember as the monster lurked within feeding off his disease filling his mind with rage the purple handprint slowly forming proof enough that the monster had won the battle yet lost the war and here she stayed the monster pushing al...

As a person who just got out of a 4-year relationship, I can understand some of the feeling in this poetry. Right after the breakup (which was his doing), I remember this kind of emotion coming out and just being part of everyday life. Trying to help, yet only hurting the process in the end. To me, I feel like you have definitely brought out a lot of strong emotion and feeling in your work. It's knowing that while letting go may be what's best, you can't do it. Good job!
The poem comes off as a little vague to me. I like it though. I think you paint a somewhat clear picture of this person who is trying to keep it together while chaos happens around them.
This is certainly an extremely important topic for women who read these types of magazines. Being 24 years old, I still remember the image issues I faced in high school when I looked at these beautiful skinny women in magazines and wondered when I could look like that. It has taken years to reach the point where I don't think about it anymore, and I think you captured that feeling that we all go through during our adolescence. The only thing I would say is check for grammar and spelling. I ca...
I get the feeling you are talking about prom with this piece, or a major dance. I like the title of this piece. It certainly gives me that imagery of dresses and too much makeup and hairspray. I'm thinking you could maybe get a little more specific with your images though. Don't be afraid to add a little bit of a storyline to your poetry. But I definitely love how you paint this extremely vivid image of what this formal occasion is meant to be.
I really like the imagery of this piece. It's graphic and disturbing, which is exactly what the thought of reading about someone cutting should do. I've had friends who have attempted this, and while they've shown me their scars, I now have a very vivid picture of how it happens. My only suggestion may be to flesh it out a little bit. What makes this person want to hurt themself? Be more specific. You don't need to, but I think it may help. Also, check for spelling as well. I saw a few typos....
