New reply from Susan Katz
<p>Sorry for the delay in responding to your submission. The holidays really mess up schedules!</p>
<p>Your poem is truly well written and creates a mood and expresses your feelings through some lovely images. I would suggest that "beath" be replaced by simply saying "by" "If by a blade…" for example. I know you are going for a classical touch, but not sure it works with that particular word.</p>
<p>Really good job – well written – and captures the imagination. Write on -</p>

Original Post by Comfort
Life. An endless strip of road
<p>I’m tired of being on the road</p>
<p>Lonely as a drifting pedal</p>
<p>Bound only by the scent I’ve stained on your clothes</p>
<p>Bound only by the memory you can not relinquish</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please-don’t-say-you-need-me</p>
<p>You slow my ascendance</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And</p>
<p>If beath by a rope:</p>
<p>let it not tie you to sad memories</p>
<p>If beath by a blade:</p>
<p>Let it not cut wounds that can not be healed</p>
<p>Instead let it spear away the pain</p>
<p>If beath by pills:</p>
<p>Know I dreamt of you in my slumber as I was carried away into heaven's palace</p>
