Reviews For: Nightmare

Vivid imagery. You verbalize well what our nightmares feel like, and I could empathize.

Its cutting deeper {It's}

I didn't quite like the last two lines of stanza #1 Asleep and with my terror/Releasing my pain...I see "releasing of pain" as a GOOD thing...and yet the next stanza again characterizes the dreams as negative. So this feels to me like a contradiction, perhaps the wrong verb? And it's six lines...maybe there's and opportunity to make this an even five for continuity?

I liked the second stanza very much. It's quotable, if that makes sense. A silent cry for help that is again, easy to empathize with.

Good job. Very professionally packaged.

Wow. Okay, so this isn't a very long poem but I really shivered reading it. I love how you got such a reaction from me with your imagery. This is very good. Nice work.
