abuse'She Slit Through Like Tears And Beauty Died.'
Humm... is it supposed to be read like that, or is it just me?

abuseI'm not a fan of slitwristsuicide poems because they sometimes feel overly dramatic, but there are nice parts to this, especially this:

"and they only knew the day she Diedof self-inflicted liberty"

The capitalizations are interesting, though I don't know the meaning behind them.

Not bad. :)

abuseI like it, especially the alien feeling the format gives, distancing itself from the reader, just like the girl is distanced from everyone around her. It's like no matter how much you can relate, you can't completely understand-- just like it is in real life. Very nicely done.

abuseWow. The capitalization in the middle of the lines added a slight punch to my minds ear. I like it.

abuseThis is really interesting...I love the imagery, for one thing. She called to say she killed herself...it's almost irony. I read the whole thing once and thought...wow...strong imagery. I read it a second time and really thought about what that means. She called to say she killed herself. At first I thought of a telephone call, and then I thought of calling for help, as some say suicide is. Similarly, the rest of the poem did the same. I love the capitalized letters. It adds a certain symmetry, an emphasis. And of coruse the last line, which is tremendous. Self inflicted liberty. I seriously had shivers when I finished.

This is amazing. Great job.

abuseShort and bittersweet. I like it. HA! I KNEW you were a poet! Can't escape another poet's senses I tell ya! I really like 'self-inflicted liberty' it almost holds an ironic substance to it.

abuseEh, kind of dark. Not as dark as I would have thought, but maybe Dank? I don't know, I like it though. It conveyed a message, a message that all of us should be aware of.
