Hi 🌑 Darleen - QoD ,

I understand we have the opportunity to review at least one other person each week for the rest of the year, so with that in mind, I decided to chose your poem "Invalid Entry"  as my extra...because it is wonderful and I am never disappointed when I read your crafted words.

Impressive my friend. I am curious how you got the lines - "memories of myself" and "shadows of shadows" to look as they do. I also like the use of alliteration you used.

The title is well suited. The style is free verse and it looks as if the poem itself is fragmented as it tells of the authors journey.

The pain of this piece is raw... very raw. My heart breaks for the torment of this broken person dealing with a life that has been shattered.

As for favourite lines... I love them all! But the first stanza pulls me in and holds me as I read on.

I wish you luck in the contest, but as far as I am concerned it is a runaway winner.

Thank you so much for sharing Darleen. I always love reading your work! Please keep writing and sharing your work.

Your sister from another Mister, Carly.
