Poetry / stretcher

This noose hugged me tighter than you ever did,

And the chill of death's warmer than your summer kiss

Is this really how our story ends?

Your back on his mattress,

My spine on the bend?

I'm covered in flashlights,

you're covered in "friends."

While sirens moan for me

how you never will again.

i really love this poem. but if i could add just a touch of constructive criticism, i expected u to expand on the noose metaphor in the first line. it was very original and i thought that the spine on the bend line strayed from the idea of u thinking ur last thoughts before u hung yourself. i think it could have been better if, in order to continue with the metaphor, u said “Your back on his mattress, My feet on your chair?” just a thought. But once again, great imagery, great originality. those seem to be ur strongest traits.

I like this poem a lot. I’m only not sure about “my spine on the bend?” Not sure what you mean by “on the bend.” I also don’t like the contraction of “death’s.” I think it should be “death is..”

I really liked this piece a lot. The contradicting comparisons are great and the imagery is beautiful. My favorite lines are L1 & L2 and L8 & L9, very deep and very moving. Actually the whole poem is deep and moving.
You are quite talented and have a way with words. I am sure you will go far.
(And one more thing, I love your lil Wayne profile photo).
Anyway, great read. Thanx for sharing.
Take care,
Sandra (Alma Libre)
