Nicely written Its short be such meaning it has. Good job.

Brevity is my skill and my curse, lol. Thank you, J.

Short but deadly this was...the "cat o' nine knots" got the best of me :-D Sick piece Tak...

Yeah, that line I'm pleased with. Thanks, Zacc!

'Cat O' nine knots welting spite' is an outstanding line - it's great to read them side by side

I appreciate your feedback, whale! Many thanks.

"Soul" was the word I used in the original, Gabriel! You have a good eye...

Thank you!

:)

More strength, more power ... you have grown, indeed.

Lol, good thing, too.

Thank you, Kitten!

Who am I, what am I
A bit of an enigma Id say

Mourganna, I had that phrase "what I am" in my head but couldn't fit it in - I'm so excited to see you make the connection!

Thank you!

Cheers for that, rM!

There's more than a hint of sadomasochism here, emotional and/or physical, depending on your perspective. I've always liked your work because, even at its most disposable, it carries a weird dark energy, something sad, angry or just sinister. L3 is my favourite here; I love the use of "welting" as a verb, and "cat o' nine knots" has a pleasant meter.

Ah, Jenkins, the inner sinister is a compelling landscape. It's little wonder so many write of it. I'm very pleased to read your comments. Thank you for taking the time with my work.

Yes line three is a hit, it seems! Little sleets of inspiration, (as described in the Discworld series) hit my brain and it always feels strange taking the credit for those...

Thanks again!

Brush oneself off and move on.  We are stronger than we believe.

I think I was reading and commenting on your work from the beginning because the way you express caught my attention.

This is a wonderful piece Atakti. :)

You were one of the first poets to encourage me, Magdalena, and still do! For that, my deepest thanks.

Huggggg ;)

amazing...

Thank you, Kyle!

Cat attack! Sorry, I could not refrain myself. A double apology for taking so long to read this tight dark write. I have not been here long, but I follow you because I learn and love your poems.  

Thank you, kindly, Jake, how very generous of you to share that!

:)

Yeah, ok, 'cat' was kinda fancy... There was always a danger of getting too fancy. After all, the trail of the original emotion had grown cold...
