Fighting The Fight Comments

Micheal I thank you for your comment and I appreciate what you said, but I do not think that you truly understand where I was coming from in this poem. I could have made this poem more graphic but that isn't what I wanted to do. I was talking about basic addiction and the fight to overcome addiction day by day. If you want more detail poetry please read almost any of my other other poems. But again thank you for your comment and I will use more imagery in my next poem. By the way I read some of your work you are very talented.

This is nothing personal and derogatory, Craig, but Fighting the Fight is NOT good poetry. Pay no mind to comments like those from Darkangel Flyfree who took your poem real personal! Crimson Love says every line was thought out, well and good and all that, but it takes more than that to compose a decent poem that you can stand by and proclaim it as a poem. To put the matter honestly, you have to work on imagery and all the rest of the skills associated with writing of any kind, but especially verse.

Thank you Darkangel and I'm sorry for your lost with your mother. There are a lot of people that is fighting this fight with drugs everyday. Some people win but many loses the fight. I have a few friends and family members fight it but it took the movie Things lost in a fire for me to write this.

Great poem about someone fighting their addiction. I wish everybody could fight it and relise thats not what they need. There are better things out their. I had a mother who od.

This poem is beautiful, every line was thought out carefully, I truly loved it. Very emotional and strong, simply brilliant!

Thank you for the comment and the kind words. I wrote this poem for one of my friends who is dealing with this situation. It is a common problem that a lot of families and people are dealing with all around the world.
