I'm really not much of a fan of free-form poetry. (I always attempt to use rhythm and rhyme - one of my many shortcomings.). But I looked through your portfolio and discover this poem and I really like it. Very nice - although very sad and depressing too.
It is extremely discouraging when the people that should protect, support and represent you are the very ones who will cause you harm. Good luck with this situation.
This is actually quite interesting. I enjoyed reading it. Growing up in New York and riding the subways to work, I would often see performers, but I never gave them much thought. Assuming this is factual, I wish you all the best.
Okay, I'm getting into the story and want to see where it goes. You defined your main character very well and now I'm interested.
You do have some grammatical issues, nothing serious.
("wander" instead of "wandering", toward the end, and "as satanic". shortly after that)
But you did throw me off with the train trip - an eight hour trip leaving at six and arriving at midnight? You might adjust that.
I am looking forward to reading more.
We had a tree like this nearby our previous home. Even after it had long died, people would pull over to the side of the road to take pictures of what had once been a big, beautiful tree, standing alone in a cow pasture. Then it became a solemn monument until nature finally claimed it. Nicely written.
