I like how it starts out all calm. Then like a sudden loss of breath, it all rushes out. The cry, the plea, "Release me!" Shit, this is how I feel. Good work.
This is beautiful! No wonder you changed your entry. Not only do you have talent with haikus, you have a special way with words!
You have a very elegant piece of art here. You took a feeling and made it into a story, not just words. You succeeded in the challenge of poetry!
You conjure a lovely picture in my mind with these words.
My favorite stanza has to be the second one. The delicacy of the words and the way I can relate really made this poem even greater.
For some reason, and I have no idea why, The Phantom of the Opera comes to mind when I read this. Perhaps it's because the effect the words have on me make me envision people with such dresses on.
I absolutely love this. You did a magnificent job! The style isn't one I see must, and that made it quite interesting. You most definitely have a unique skill. I wish I could say more to express my wonder and awe, but I honestly cannot find the words.
