A description of an anxiety attack, anxiety is crippling to many people.
This poem also describes unresolved emotions that trigger the anxiety and the quick fix is medication.
It describes fear as the main motivator, which leads to the other emotions of self-doubt, shame and guilt. Racing thoughts is the over analytical mind, which gives rise to the fears and emotions, reliving incidents of the past or compound incidents which culminates in the anxiety attack.
Be calm, breathe, move the mind to a pleasant place, acknowledge the thoughts and emotions that arise and let them go.
Oh wow I am not good at reviewing - lack of experience.
I am learning so many different forms of poetry I never knew existed. Unfortunately I did do a search for a list of all the forms of writing poetry but get a generalised list of the main things. Definitely did not come across the Idian Ovi form in my searches.
Maybe I will come across someone who can list all the forms for me to look up and learn. Did find a poetry course online but there was no ovi mentioned in the course.
I did enjoy the read though and am sure I will be learning a lot in the future.
I really do hope that you will overcome what is ailing you.
Very nice descriptive poem of how your postive mind can override pain and still you can give to others despite it all. The power of the mind can heal many things.
Most people are asleep in their loneliness without realising it.
Even though new possibilities may arise, they never open their eyes.
Having money gives you more time to do what you wish but not having someone to share it with, they are still lonely.
Even though people may be in a relationship they are still lonely and feel alone and still they will sleep and go throug life the same and never really open their eyes.
All to true, our youth actually teaches how to live our lives at a laters stage, everything and everyone teaches a lesson that we need to learn and sometimes the lesson is to walk away.
This poem captures a fleeting encounter with a stranger, exploring the nuances of perception, change, and missed connections. The concise narrative unfolds through a series of observations, revealing the speaker's internal conflict as they grapple with the recognition of the stranger's altered appearance. The use of sensory details, such as the mention of makeup and trinkets, adds depth to the encounter, creating a vivid image of the moment.
The poem effectively conveys a sense of introspection and self-awareness, as the speaker reflects on their own transformations and the possibility of going unnoticed by the stranger. The repetition of glances and the cyclical nature of the speaker's thoughts reflect the intensity of the moment, heightened by the anticipation of the traffic light changing.
However, the poem leaves room for improvement in terms of linguistic precision and rhythm. Some sentences could be refined for a smoother flow, and a more consistent use of punctuation might enhance the overall readability. Additionally, exploring the emotional impact of the encounter on a deeper level could add layers to the narrative, allowing readers to connect more intimately with the speaker's experience.
In conclusion, this poem effectively captures a brief, poignant encounter but could benefit from slight revisions to enhance its linguistic and emotional resonance.
The poem takes us on a journey through various feelings, from the pleasant and yearning to the heartbreaking and isolating. It mentions some kind of trouble on "planet Eye," which might symbolize personal or societal issues.

The use of phrases like "oh God" and "again" emphasizes a sense of ongoing difficulty and repeated challenges. Overall, the poem vividly portrays the ups and downs of life, mixing personal reflections with a hint of cosmic perspective.
I can totally relate to wanting that one last phone call.
The poem does evoke emotion of that yearning between sleep and wake, like feeling the bed beside you to find an empty space.
Also does tell how much we rely on our phones or at least how distracted we are by it that all the dead in the dream have a phone.
Also eerie about the light or going into the light, that it is a phone screen, digital devices have pretty taken over the living, leaving many people empty shells clinging to their devices instead of embracing the living.
I know the frustation of laundry. Why does it seem that most of the stain remover stuff they sell just does not seem to work, seems more of a money making gimick than anything else.
This is so sad, poor doggie still waiting and guarding.
Underlying though is the psychology, that we all follow things because that is what we were taught, indoctrinated to do. All of society teaches things that are contrary to our nature, the instilled memory of dualistic teachings to keep us line ingrained into us to prevent us from just being, being the way we were created to be.
In days gone by they used to put pennies into fruit cakes, expecially around xmas time.
Interesting that you chose to write a poem for the international day of fruit cakes, I am sure many bakers were posting their favourite recipes and comparind them as well.
I am sre the brandied fruit cakes would make you feel quite spritely.
Interesting poem though.

I really enjoyed the read. It did make me smile. I am so please that there was no smut in the story that seems to be the norm now-a-days.
The story line flowed nicely and was engaging.
A poem of pain and loss, struggle for self acceptance and joy and love. Pain overruling all that can be good.
Many feelings have come and gone in my heart - while we think that feelings have come and gone even over a period of time they linger just below the surface.
I've yearned for these touches - are feelings of loss, some profound, some less so. Being touched can be very healing for the heart and soul but sometimes they are painful reminders.
But it hurs me - unresolved emotions of pain, that we cling to. Pain is the most powerful addiction that exists, if we learn to let go of the pain and step into our own, we can overcome the feelings of loss and experiences the touches that make us feel alive.
If these feelings are real - all feelings are real, how much of them hold truth is up to how honest we are with ourselves and they will be enough, if we learn to accept who we are and not who we are expected to be.
Are they beginning a new chapter in my life? - when you allow yourself to feel with your soul, every moment becomes a new chapter, it is a matter of choice what you allow yourself to feel, joy vs sadness.
When would I let that be my turn? - when you let go of pain, when you accept who you are, accept that what is gone is gone and all you have is the moment - the choice to be who you were always meant to be, without the opinions of the world to weigh you down, when you can find joy in every moment and see the beauty that surrounds you.
A nice reflective poem that contrasts the suns brilliance with moon. The sun is associated with light and happiness where the moon is often associated with the sombre and melancholy.
Sometimes there is beauty in melancholy that is over shadowed by the need for happiness. The melancholy emotions are real and needed for personal growth to find the happiness within.
It is in quiet reflection that these parallels between the sun and moon can be found, between happiness and melancholy making us whole
Very well written, I can feel the emtional contents in the words.

The use of color and light, like the "sable hue" of the hair and the "yellowed and dim" light bulb, adds to the mournful atmosphere.

The contrast between the physical absence and the lingering emotional presence creates a poignant tension throughout the poem, conveying the profound impact of the departed person on the speaker's psyche.
I did enjoy the poem very much and can relate.
The rhythum though is a bit broken with the lines in each verse changing, you go from 4 lines to 6 lines. Do not know if this is a form of poetry to write this but it feels a bit fragmented. Also you have heads as plural.
Over all I did like the poem on what you wanted to portray in the poem.
Not fitting or belonging is a theme in most peoples lives and yes there are many fake smiles to go around, loneliness is almost a disease. You have conveyed the feeling very well in this verse
Hurt and pain does drive people not to wanted be on the planet any more and rediscovering life, you have written this well, describing the consequence of life and what is required to over come it.

I am sure a good many people can relate to this poem, it does have the desired emotional effect to depict what you are saying.
This is so cleverly written, very good.
A world without edges - this can be many things, like borders, religion, race, all the things that divide humanity and yet what we all wish for.
Kindness is no longer visible in this world, it would be wonderful if the world could be worn soft and smooth from kindness, creating unity for all.
The world speaking a new language, show how language does separate us, yet acts of kindness is a universal language, as is love. If we all spoke kindness and love without words through action, I believe the world would be a better place.

A lovely dipction of looking within and finding the inner child and reconnection with the innder child. We all need to connect with the inner child, with the place of innocence that dwells within us, so we can learn things we have forgotten like pure laughter.
