Comment from jacquelyn popp
This is a fascinating and almost dark poem, beautifully capturing the internal struggle of pain and isolation. The repetition of "block," "heart," and "body" effectively conveys the overwhelming sense of entrapment, both physically and emotionally. Great job with the descriptions you used to describe feelings, particularly with vivid imagery. This is a great poem that masterfully communicates a profound sense of suffering and resilience. The stark honesty in each line invites a personal connection, urging readers to confront their own struggles. Well done.

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
Your poem was so well written. I felt the struggle in every line. You made me feel like I was walking through your thoughts step by step. Your poem shows deep hurt but also strength for facing it. I liked how honest it was - you didn't hold back. It takes courage to write something like this and you did it beautifully.

Comment from Benny Beeharry
Hi this is a very very tight writing and one hardly knows where to begin. Still I can catch the depression and the heart aches behind it all. Whether the cell block is true or part of the poem , I cannot say but it definitely adds to the drama of it all and the solid and terse language.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
We incarcerate ourselves with our thoughts and our memories often haunt us and if we can let go of the past, then we start to heal. Many will identify with your words here, thank you for sharing your inner most thoughts, love Dolly x

Comment from Kirsten Shonle
I love how this poem was presented. I have never read a poem like this where the last word gets repeated as the first word. It really drives the point. The emotion was so great in this piece. Glad you have started writing again. I enjoyed this read.

Comment from Bill Schott
This loop poem, From a Cell Block, has the proper formatting and seems to portray an existence where life is more against one than for one. The cell needs escape.

Comment from Iza Deleanu
Wow, love it "ainfully writing from my cell block
block in my mind and heart
heart full of memories, good and bad
bad feelings invading my being", sometimes we need to have that uncomfortable conversation with our spirit to make the most of our gifts and tribulations. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Wow! A powerful poem about emotions and being in a cell block. I enjoyed reading this poem even though it seems painful, it was good. The photo is perfect too. It goes well with the poem. Keep up the great work!

Hi Donna,
Nice work on your loop poem. I am glad you are breaking out of your cell block! Or writer's block! I think that you have it all figured out with the entries into your book. I am all excited for your April poetry!
