All Comments on 'Circles'

By the time I started reading the poem, I had already forgotten its title. When I finished it, though, the first thought that came to mind was the perfection of the circular pattern it drew, with the last verse mirroring the first.

It's a simple poem, but very well written, with the perfect pace.

~A mouthful of weakness

beckoning men

I want

who don’t want me~

is some perfectly powerful stuff.

thank you

What a feeling of overwhelming sadness.

Such a poignant message

that reaches ... connects to the heart.

Very nice form and imagery.

I *felt* this one rippling afterwards.

Wonderful Poem here ~!!

and owning your own perceptions...whenever another controls your realm...the river within you gets stuck...so just do like a computeer dump...dump..the illusion... I like your work...lol/blue

for the dizzying effect this has in its downward spiral of hopeless feelings you've expressed. The circle never ends, but there is always a way to step out of the circle and stand on solid ground. <smile> Within a few lines, you have successfully conveyed the emotional vertigo to this reader. A poem well done!

Vixxx

in a vicious circle sort of way...thanks.

somewhat portends the ending, the irony still is cutting.

Nice job.

Wonderful metaphor and phrasing. Good job, CW.

Fly

nice read.

the rain does fall, how oft' we ponder on the ones who forever left a stain on the creases of what remains in the heart....... sgp

Julia, This is so well done, I'm amazed I never read it, let alone left a comment. But back then I was just getting started.
