...and the image in the title offers awesome possibilities. While I found some nice, hard images and phrases throughout, I also found myself suspecting the emotions were getting in the way of your heart.

I'd really like to see this poem in another 3 months!

and an abused mom and/or wife. I do think your emotions play a huge part in this, but I tend to like emotional poetry :)

"Words black with venom

hissed through serpent lips"

From the first two lines you caught my attention. This is an excellent poem dealing with a very sensitive issue. I agree with jd4george (to some extent) that the title doesn't quite seem to fit the poem in spots. As for jd4george's idea that "...the emotions were getting in the way of your heart." Don't the emotions reveal what you feel in your heart? Isn't poetry supposed to be emotional?...Anyways, thanx for sharing this with us all & well done!

is mentioned in Tuesday's reviews.

Ouch, Tung, this one is so vivid in imagery you can feel it.. it hurts. Nice work.

It plays out...I do agree it's almost like two poems.

One deals with the physical...one the emotions.

I don't see anything wrong with it...probably because I tend to write that way too.

: )

Some great word choices and images...

That last stanza is a powerful one.

Nice work
