Gosh, this is good. Succinct but comprehensive. Alarming. Look forward to more (poetry, not slices).

Imperfect Canvas

Ohhhhh OWL ~ cutting is so so cathartic ! One of my female students showed me the perfect row of slices on her arm ~ fortunatly none was septic. She said "When I see the blood the pain stops ~ the tension goes ~ blood letting is a cure. But it can lead to death. Take care OWL you are too too young and beautiful to die young. Thinking of uou ~ sharing your pain with you ~ BRIAN Please check my poems ~ YOURS B

The Ladder
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

WELCOME ONYXOWL (intriguing name ~ I have one I bought in Puebla) I am intrrigued by poems about self-harm and cutting and I have seen incidents (I am a College Councilor) where it did resemble a ladder. It is mostly Female students who "cut" and there are always "reasons" which can often be resolved. Despite the subject of your poem ~ quenched desire ~ self harm ~ longing for DEATH ~ the structure is elegant ! Beautifully spaced lines and pulsating with rhyme and rhythm ~ more please ~ Thanks for sharing what I trust is just a cri du coeur ! Yours BRIAN.
