Christinia--stunning work, truly. I especially enjoyed your use of analogies. Upon reading your the first stanza of your submission, I felt whole-heartedly enlightened. You truly have a unique perspective on the world, and countless others could benefit by merely reading your words--your message. Please, continue your outstanding work

The Darkness is such a wonderful poem. I completely understand where you are coming from! You are an exceptional writer and should continue to record your feelings and dreams. Thank you for helping me realize that I have not been alone in The Darkness!

This poem is very beautiful, very touching, that is how life is. Never be afraid to walk in the darkness, for that is God Himself. God Bless you. Keep writing

Christinia in your work The Darkness you have a lot of good points that you make. I think that it is a very good poem it dwells on the dark side of life and how it is lived. I would like to see more of your work I think we share the same views in our writing.

Christinia - I'm sorry, but I feel I must tell you this, because I see something in your work that I can't quite define. I'm really not one to judge, but I see potential in The Darkness, that you did not use. Poetry is more than meaning. It is animation to that which is not alive; it is structured; it has ryhthm, and (in my opinion) it has rhyme. It takes work to write structured, metered, rhymed poetry. Lots of work. The Darkness has meaning and depth, and I think it's good. But somehow, I see in your words, you can do more. I think too many good writers, or those with the very real potential of being good writers, fall into the "easy" way that seems to be so acceptable now as modern poetry. Forgive the frankness.
