Shuttering (poem) by Cryssa C on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on December 11, 2018

I like the way you used a house under attack from a storm as a way to reveal the storm brewing inside you.

Dear Cryssa, You are well protected. This poem makes me shudder through the beauty of your expression. I know, prayers are very important, but if we want to help someone in need, for any reason, we have to help first this someone in any way we can. Our will and the prayer together can make miracles happen. Love Emile

That is great imagery and allegory, Cryssa. To shutter against windy words blowing in creates interesting comparisons in my mind. Then connecting it all to self-doubt really speaks. How often have I let it hurt my own life to let such storms invade? The answer is a multitude of times..........Jerry

Excellent, Cryssa - faultless rhythm and metre and I think this truly is one of your very best in all respects. Love the way you have worked with your subject and such an apposite description and metaphor. This really works! :)) It is concrete and yet mysterious as to the multiplicity of things that "she" might be desiring to shutter her world from. Great finale, too. Love this, thank you. xx

Looking out through windowed pains

Excellent opening line, Cryssa, to a shuttered life
destined to conceal its pains in a weathered house
of empty rooms. -gene.
