Double-edged Sword

All too well!! And thank you, she’s gifted. I merely have her the poem and let her run wild.

Great writing for the subjects, really hits home. I love how you inserted the sword as break and your sister is really talented. I think she really captured the words.

Thank you for noticing those details. And I have to agree, she did exceptional  😊

I agree with our friends above Julia. Your sister is a terrific artist. I guess it runs in the family. My father loved to read and my mother is a good writer.

Dear J,

Well done. Your writes are very sensitive and your ability to give these subjects voice are very helpful. You’ve crafted this piece on addiction with laser precision. Denial is the drinkers best defense- so says the drinker.

The sword is a fabulous piece of artistic typing. I adore the sweet shout out to your sister and her talent as an artist. These are the best kind of collaborations. H🌷

Thank you. Your comment means a lot to me. When I wrote this, I knew I had conveyed something really meaningful.

Great poem.  Hope you feel better after writing it.  Keep on writing.

Resonates so deep with me ... nice and crisp ... love the different style of this ... bravo dear poetess ... nice spreading of your poetic wings ...

This one hits real close to home for me too, so I’m glad you resonate so strongly. It came about while working on a different piece. After writing this part, it felt too powerful to not be its own entity. So here it is. I’m not one for short poems, but sometimes the poem speaks for itself.

Now which is which?
Just a different perspective by the drawing

Julia, if you click "Yes" to Visual Poem right under the image before you submit, it  would be much larger! I would personally love to see it larger myself. Johnny draws too, I'll shoot him over this way.

Both poem and image are very unique!

Thank you! There I fixed it. Hope it’s better...

Perfect! Great!

From poem to drawing, an excellent presentation all around - so much uniqueness!

Thank you! Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
