KNIFED

 

 

Knifed right through

you turned away

leaving me for dead

I cried out

no one came

I bled

WE

died.

I see it

hear it and feel it. Powerful, simple and very good. I don't think "we" needs to be bold and caps, the words say it all cheers, Jess

effective

I like it for it's brutal honesty, but have not gotten my hands around whether that is intentional, or if it's just the same young angst I've seen many many times in writing. Mark

clever

I admire the daring with which you explore the minimalist style and how you imply how both figures have died--as though there were no victim and no victimizer, no real difference, only a material one. You give brutal tragedy an effective treatment. In this case I'd agree with connect that it's a little hard to discern whether your poetry is the work of "minimalist" proper or not--which is why I'd love to see you expand just a little more on your work. We're all missing out for the lack of expansion with your obvious talent. Good job
