Holy crap! This was like a word choice explosion in my head! I'm not even going to try to comprehend half of what that meant. . . All I know is that I like this poem and it seems very deep. That last stanza was just. . . Wow. Very nice, Anna, very nice. Although I'm not 100 percent sure what it was about, still, very nice.

Keep Writing,

Wow Anna! So different from your older stuff. I guess it's been a while since I've been on here. It's very very good. Are you doing alright?

Love

Your twin, always and forever!

"I'm washing your DNA off my hands"...Wow.

Again very strong, powerful voice, nicely controlled words.

This is powerful. The last line was my favourite. Keep up the great work.

I always love your choice of words, but this one really stands out! I especially love the last two lines of the last stanza. It completes the work. Great job!

Somewhat disturbing, but strong emotions. I liked it :D

Whoa... that was really good. The first line has great imagery, as does the rest of the poem. Really well-written. Great job!

Brilliant imagery in this! And brilliant format. :)

"The compass I hold in front of me points south, signifying that

I should instantly make my heart the place of authority and lesson instead" - loved that part. :)

Southern Cross beams light

Guiding South hearts red or black,—

Monarchs flutter North.

Whoa. Spectacular. Lovely use of imagery which effectively conveys the emotion. Keep writing :)

I'm not sure that I understand what "slam poetry" is, but if this is an example I am impressed. Your poem flows rhytmlically, yet each line pounds in its message like a drumbeat. Thanks for sending me to the dictionary to learn something new - embonpoint. A grest word!

WHOA! Did I feel the anger LEAP off from my laptop screen. MAN! That was quite a poem. Four stanzas of pure genius.

I just-I don't know what to say I'm so like "Ah!" in a good way.
