...powerful write...of a turn for the worst...unseen...mixed with black ice...all slipping away.
I really like this one Cryssa...

Viualisation is easy, in such a poetic piece.
The mind sees the images as they are read and beyond...

A poem telling of looking in a mirror and getting nothing back, just one more sad disillusion...and until the next one.

A verbal hit-and-walk away-- it's like a hit-and-run, only in slow, icy motion. I really like this, Crys. It's different, and a little shocking. It makes the reader think about words-- the way they can be used against us. Like Axilea, one of the things I liked best about the poem was the different tactics you used.-- Word repetition, dashes (little rain drops-- sweet, little rain drops-- little sleet drops, slicing, darned sleet slices), cause and effect, hyphens, (parenthesis), metaphors, analogies, and the cliff-hanger. They all work together for an effective write. (Right?) --Charlie

Words that collide... an interesting beginning. The sad part is the one that speaks of deceit. Collisions can create but deceit only destroys. No one wins.

I like the way you kept experimenting throughout the poem.

A sad story. You reveal the core of the relationship in this sad encounter. Favorite line - "The rain turned into "sl-i-c-ing sleet" is an excellent metaphor. Good writing!

sad and poignant write when words lose their meaning and are thrown back at us in a different form than was originally expressed.

Cryssa,

There is a deep sense of poignancy in these words: this can be read on multiple levels. Having words turned around until they're unrecognizeable? Having words stolen and credited to the theif? Excellent thought provoker, love the imagery.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
