  I fear commenting since you'd stopped responding. I felt like it was upon deaf ears. If you chose to stop writing, I understand. We all go through spurts. It doesn't mean your lack of presence isn't felt. I consider us friends, if only online friends, but friends nonetheless. If you decide to write, I will try to be there for you. I hope whatever you're going through passes and that you come out stronger. Also understand I go through things as well which is why I run silent at times. We're all only human after all. :-) more »

  I really enjoyed reading your poem, The Last Poem! There is a wonderful sense of compassion and tender resignation embedded within your words, and their simplicity beautifully highlighted the complexity of the emotions you wanted to express. Your use of metaphor, especially with the term 'tangled heart', was quite poignant and effective.
  
  Your expression of desperation in trying to let go and the struggle encapsulated in the phrase "the pen won’t let me" conveys a powerful emotion that deeply resonates. It leaves readers with a feeling of having experienced a compelling, emotional journey through your words, which is a testament of your exceptional poetic prowess.
  
  As for areas of improvement, the poem could benefit from a more diverse vocabulary to further underscore the sentiment you seek to portray. Diverse language usage can help provide a broader picture and even stronger emotional resonance. It may even be worth exploring different poetic structures and forms to convey your thoughts. Adding some descriptive language about the settings or characters, if appropriate for the context, could also allow readers to further immerse themselves in your work. Use visual imagery to make your metaphors and emotions in the poem even more compelling. Keep writing, your work shows a lot of potential! more »
