I really enjoyed the way you wove your stanzas here. The beginning and end words tied it all together, and the use of 'walls' which is an incredible image in itself. I already see growth in your poetry just from the last one I edited to this, you have found your footing on form and repetition, as well as channeling the images. I look forward to much more from you!

thank you! thank you! your comments are very much appreciated. i always thought of rooms that had bad things happen inside them and if they could talk they would tell us exactly what happened within. now wouldn't police men and detectives like that? lol

I love the way your mind works in your writing......There is much despair and disdain and yet you manage to intertwine it with common sense and reality........Keep up the writing so I have more to read

You have a very fluid imagination, and that really benefits your poetry, because it translates over into your writing style. Good descriptors and images here, very evocative. Using walls as your main metaphor was inspired. Like Bri said, your poetry is evolving. I like this one a lot.

I loved the repetition of "within" in a few stanzas. I don't know why but that jumped out at me. I think your broke this down so nicely, you covered so many "if walls had" that it really completed the piece very nicely. Good stuff!

Might I suggest revising your punctuation? It tends to get a little confusing as to what you really mean and slows down the reader too much. Here is one suggestion:
Quote:
If these walls could talk
they would let you in ondelete ,
the madness, the screams
and all the suicidal things
that came to pass within.
Just an example of a way to tone down your stanzas a bit. All in all, this is beautifully written and filled with a distinct angst that keeps the reader fixated. Nice imagery and personification of the walls. I like!

~_~ dark, very dark. The light repetition seemed to connect the stanzas, and the descriptive words really set the mood (I have do idea what I'm saying). Poetry seems quite interesting. Congratz Abuel, you've sparked my interest!
