All Comments on 'Toxic Love: Bridge'

The line breaks in this poem make it an interesting read. The inconsistent use of lower/upper case is a bit distracting but over all I enjoyed this. Love hurts, particularly the toxic kind.

I'm a little undecided about parts of the poem, but nothing that keeps me from truly enjoying what I just read. This part is fantastic: was like oil was like shadows of insects in ink was like what?

I like the format of this work because the meaning of the words (and lack of punctuation, ect) allow multiple responses from the reader.....both from the readers and the authors point of view. I like poems not bound by tradition. My response to the poem is that toxic love (dirty damaging oil slick)can never be a bridge to something better....true love? Worse yet, maybe true love doesn't exist. Leighlilly
