2 Prison Poems Comments

That is so powerful, so horrific I feel as if I was watching the horror before my eyes and my stomach is still churning.

Brutal and graphic! Congrats on poem of the day!

A poem from the edge of human existence, which is an advantage. My only comment is that you use extreme, emotive language perhaps too much-' ripping lashes', cat 'o nine tails', 'back flayed and scarred' - where moderate words could have achieved more. 'Less is more'. Still an interesting poem.

The crash of the heaving waves Tons of water, pummelling sand and rock great great write great 10++++++

Great stuff, young lady. Also, congrats on this poem being chosen as 'POD. Big ups!

Having been in a number of riots in my youth in Florida They were always race riots and no where to hide. That was 44 years ago. The politics in prisons in America are designed this way On purpose. In Florida nearly one percent of the population die yearly In this day and age it's scary. Thanks for reminding us that there are two side's to most Of the riots. And congrats on your poem selection for a day. James McLain 🎸

Intriguing piece. Thanks for sharing the image where vivid

Tantalizing tremor we feel after reading the written words and images between lines bring some chaotic collages to decipher its protagonist dilemma.... The poem is referred to intelligence. It's field of work and experience of working past or may not be so hard, simply imagined paradox! .... Written well the wild wings.

This is hard-hitting narrative. Starting with material from the cold medium of television, you have imaginatively rendered it in the visceral, warm medium of poetic reportage. Or perhaps you were there. I will seek out more of your work. A rarely-given 10.

Beautifully portrayed one kind of a past rule, where ever it was. Criminals are criminals, where ever they are. But, who make criminal and why, and who make prisons and for what purpose, some questions with no clear cut answers, it seems. Thought provoking poem indeed. Please read my poem no.69, Closing down of a prison for a different angle to view prisons. Congrats on your positioning. Thanks for sharing.X
