You have a flow which can't be ignored
my mind like a punching bag for your array of intellect
"thoughts clattering like dying crickets" pure metaphoric genius
with out a doubt you own the artistic regions of your soul

Juxtaposition between the quote and the poem is interesting. Seems written in an introspective manner which I find intriguing. Nicely done!

Mesmerizing. The first stanza scared me. The second felt like jealousy. The concepts seem to flow back into the words as new ones emerge, yet there is no trace of transition in this seamless piece of art.

There's also something insistently honest about this write, which is the best feature good writing can have as far as I'm concerned. While all your writes are full of imagery and creativity, none have held my attention in a vice like this one. Fine work.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
