I just wanted to say that I really, genuinely enjoyed this, and thank you. I also completely understand, because my father dies almost a year ago to the month, and I really am glad to see that I'm not the only person who feels like this, like everything in this, and I'm pretty grateful I found it just now. Although, with the amount of people that wouldn't leave me alone during and after the funeral, I wanted to scream and hit the next person who said, "I'm Sorry for your loss." Cuz' it felt so forced and...I don't know, just made me upset lol. But anyway, just wanted to say thanks and I'm really glad I ran into this. It made me feel a little more understood

very interesting. i figured there would be some twist at the end - some reason behind the rushed, random thoughts. nice one! shock is a hard emotion to capture, and you've done it well.

I happened to bump into this while surfing random deviations, It appears you were on fire when you did this one.
I placed a watch on you for whatever you come up with in the future.
This made me remember a few key moments in my lifeβ¦. unfortunately I can relate to this all too well.

Wow... This is very good. This a piece that, after you've read it, makes you stare blankly and say in total astonishment: "What on Earth did I just read?!" Exquisite! *Adds to faves*

-Did you understand the perspective of the Speaker?
Yes, it was smoothly grasped.
-Was the speakers sense of loss obvious?
No, it wasn't. I'd say I became to suspect such during the final paragraph of the poem. ^^
-Does the style used here effectively portray shock and loss? Yes. I thought the run-on of the words gave it a desperate, rushing, terrified air to it while reading.
-Were the emotions effectively portrayed?
I believe so. There was such an earnest feeling of panic and anexity during reading, and the farther I got, the more dreadful I became of the ending.
-Where you able to figure out was going on before the last line?
No, again, it took me till final paragraph to assume. It was like discovering the mystery. : )
-Are the emotions portrayed realistically?
Very well, in my opinion. The feeling of being smothered, drowned by grief and confusion, a constant rush of seemingly senseless work after a heavy loss like that is exactly how I would imaginge such to happen.
-What is your take on what is happening?
I presumed the speaker was... maybe taking drugs. All joking aside(that sounded really stupid, I know!), I was think how they were being more and more envoloped in their actions, completely oblivious to it, and then guessed he/she dies. : )
-What was your favorite line?
I'm crazy or something because I swear I saw a pig fly by just ten minutes ago half an hour from now. ^^

And another thing: that last line made me smile sadly. As if "I'm sorry for your loss" can stop you from suffocating.

IceFarie In reply to KuchikiYorume [2011-02-19 15:11:23 +0000 UTC]
It can't stop you from suffocating, it's a bit like slapping an open wound with salt and vinegar. But thank you for reading, it means a lot to me.

KuchikiYorume In reply to IceFarie [2011-02-19 18:44:17 +0000 UTC]
I'll say. Actually, I believe any words hurt. If someone really wants to help someone who's gone through such a loss, they should be silent and just... be there. Be there for that person.
And you're welcome. ^^

Eventually the salt water will wash it away, it's easier to swim in water than oil, after all.

This was amazing...and its true. i actually thought the main person was dieing but the last line said everything. sometimes that is how you feel when you lose someone close to you. and the salty sea water may have been tears is his/her eyes...so you portrayed this very well, and i liked it!

Thank you. I had hoped it would remain a mystery until the end, and I'm glad that I managed to succeed in this. Thank you for reading

they do have a tendency to make things more dramatic, but I thought it fit for this piece. And I'm glad I left you wondering until the last line, it's what I had hoped for.

This..... is.... the most absurdly realistic thing I have ever read....
I love it so much that I hate it. And I hate myself for not being able to think of such a genius thing D:
