I loved the Shawshank Redemption. I think it's one of King's best pieces - the written version is called "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption". Anyways, this was really good. I like the imagery a lot - I can see the words scraped into the concrete walls, and I loved the lines "this is a story about escapism and failure, I hope you don't forget - ever;"

It brought a surreal quality to the poem. Though I'm no expert at judging poetry, I hope you'll continue to inspire the world with you word-emotions. You are still my favorite author. : ))

nice. very raw and truthful. good job

Cool. It flows out, like some one was just saying this off the top of their head.

This reminds me of one of my all time favorite songs, "Tragedy" by Brandi Carlile. That is a huge compliment-this slices like a razor, and I can taste the blood. Dark is as dark does. It's one horrific, beautiful, silent scream.

Amazing...and I think you just bursted through my writer's block, damn it.

Just amazing.

well it works.

The complexities of this made me really have to think to try and understand. A lovely piece of work.
