I am Sadness

Portrayed the sadness emotion so well. This is very evocative. "My shadow still remains lost in debris." Congratulations on your win Silent.

This is perfection. I adore how this flowed and rhymes all the way through. Hitting rock bottom brings us to our knees, perfect place to seek help right?! You're such a deep thoughtful poet Silent One... so professional, emotional, filled with image that brings me back to the times I've been knocked to my knees. Congratulations on much deserved win!!

Good imagery plus great expression of sadness equals a great placement. Congrats!

Great personification on your poem. Yes sadness can keep us in dark places for while. love phyl

The Best personification of sadness ! Great poetry.... unmatched in poignancy. " My shadow still remains lost in debris, as I reside in prison on my knees/ In darkness no light helps me find the key". The intensity of helplessness cannot be better expressed. How I wish you could say--- I am Happiness!

"I Am Sadness" is a powerful write. In 5 lines you told a wonderful story. Great Ending.... "Good Luck"  Enjoy your day with fun writing away............

ohh, poe-like in mood and poetic depth, S... i almost used the same theme but ended up taking a diffirent route . .. remarkably composed wc went deeper than sadness!

Nice thoughtful poem

Deep expressions.... you did this form very well

Beautifully composed. Certainly not lacking in emotion IMHO. xomo

You always amaze me with your words, a portrait that tells the story of a heart, a soul, a light - sadness, whatever you attempt to write, you write with so much beauty. God bless you and much love, Gina

Youv personified and written about sadness using imagery in such eloquence dear silent one, so well woven and expressed and how youv compared tears to leaves caught in a breeze blew me away! What an artistic simile! The darkness and sorrow how youv depicted it is so clever! I absolutely love this! Especially love also the rhymes! Creative. I think i have a lot to learn in english! Lol what am i but a mere maldivian? this looks seamless! Despite how hard it must be writing in iambic form. I believe so too sometimes iambic pentameter gives a cadence and is lyrical but emotions do not come strong. If that makes sense! However yours is emotive and deeply touching! This you did very well. Im sure andrea will love and appreciate your take! Best wishes
