A Vicious Cycle Comments

well written -midnightmaiden

I love the way you almost have two cycles going in this poem, life being born every time someone dies and vice versa, aswell as the season cycle of the year.

yes, this is very interesting, Laura. 'killing death to take a chance on life every fourth' was a line that rjumped out at me, the same as your reversal of 'Taking death and making life.' misquoted your title in a message I sent you and that is because you have played on the phrase 'a vicious circle' and given things a twist which expands the connotations...the cycle of life etc. Good work.
