Its venom is killing me bit by bit
Now I have become something like an animal

Nice poem it comes from the heart.. I love this line Loneliness is biting me like a cobra Its venom is killing me bit by bit
hey there, thank you for inviting me to read your poem. I do like the imagery you use so that the reader can have a tangible connection to the pain in your words. I enjoyed the poem, some imagery more than others, but that's not to say the other imagery was strong, there were just some lines I could relate to on a personal level..which is exactly what a writer strives for...the connecton..so, good job! ! ! I am not new to this site, but haven't been on it in so long..so if you happen to see 2 cathy clough's with the same poems on their site, they are both mine, ]]
Sweet are the uses of adversity, observation of greatest bard. Thanks for sharing
Sometimes in the aftermath of love we do give up and shrivel but then we must realise that we have only one life and as much as it cuts our core, it is so needed to get up and brush ones grazed knees.....A beautiful piece... i cannot review the other poem as politics and religion are not where i wish to become involved...this is more why i read poetry... tyvm karen
Tell me which cobra biting you....so we will find the cure for that hahaha...nice expression in your own way_Soul
Cobras are not fussed by flowers. We are all lonely sometimes, but if you have a good heart, there are always people around you to kick away the cobra, if you let them.
Go out and find a new friend/love. Do not let yourself be lonely and depressed. We all love you and want for you to be happy. If your flowerhead is dead it will soon throw seeds out with the help of that wind and that same rain will germinate them! so do not dispair. x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

lonely wont leave me alone... only we can change this. your words flow like a mountain stream.
Wow, your words flow like magic even though you sound heartbroken.
Great piece of work. Thank you for sharing it with us. E.K.L.
