you don't need the parenthesis

(is that how it's spelled?)

love the boy's molten-teardrop eyes (lose the second dash) and face carved out of pure promise

i disagree with the name

you keep me confused until everything makes sense -

she shattered her reflection and now she finally feels beautiful

im sorry, its beautiful

i never knew that words held beauty

not before this poetry

LOVE /weaver/

wOw.

i've read all 24 twice, and i still don't know what to say here. words that come to mind are heartbreaking, beautiful, tragic, amazing. one (or some) of the best works i've ever read.

wow. deep, but I can relate to some.

great work! I like the play of your words and the use of bold to convey messages or words.

keep it up!

oh, and my condolence.

I haven't really experienced losing someone dear to me so I wouldn't really know how it feels but just thinking about it makes me sad so it must be really hard.

anyway, keep on writing!

I've had this on my favorites list ever since you started posting 24 over insommia, but I've never been able to bring myself to review- even though it's OVER- until tonight. Maybe it's the date but tonight just felt right somehow.

I really want to thank you for writing something real about how much loosing someone you love, care and need...hurts. I can read my own feelings-oddly clearer here- and somehow it makes things seem just a bit...less heavy. Like I'm not the only one who feels this way about what happened and why she did what she did.

I won't say I feel any less guilty about it- guilt never ever really goes away, but fades like well-worn demin- but I think whoever you wrote this for would be proud of it and you for touching so many people and doing what I've yet to have the courage to do myself.

The one that always makes me need to just stop for a moment is 13:shatter glass. I couldn't read it when you first posted this part and for the longest time a friend of mine suggested I stop reading them all together but I'm...glad? thrilled? relieved? proud? I'm just better having finished to the end and not leaving it or her when it hurt the most- again.

Now that this has turned into a great big spiel, I really should just leave off by saying thank you again, a million times over- and even though you've left the poetry part of this site I hope to God you never stop writing. You touch a lot of people when you put pen to paper and just ...feel.

I love the use of parentheses.

WWII?

the only thing more beautiful than life / is / death.

there is

still life in this

death, when the stars are reborn each night.

Powerful.

I like how the order of the words reversed and it ended as an addiction. I like the formatting. Two lines for all the stanzas except the last, with three.

It's captivating.

I like the imagery. It's beautiful.

I LOVE your style and formatting.

I lovelovelove the bolded letters spelling "believe" and the last line starting with (be)li(e)ve - either being "live" or "believe."

Awesome poem.

This is really beautiful. I hope that you've forgiven yourself for whoever it was that passed. My condolences. but, it wasn't your fault, I'm sure of that. This collection is...I'm speechless, it's so good. :D -faves-
