This is a powerful bearing of the soul. For those of us who have witnessed some of the events you write about they evoke images long suppressed or better forgotten. You are a very 'raspy' writer (by which I mean you rub people the wrong way until they bleed). You do what you do well so who am I to complain. Good luck with your writing.
Also check out my book "Bonded to this world" It is my first book and I want it to get at least 10 stars :)
And now I see there is no place to vote for it. Well y'know. The thought counts.
Hey Katie - checked out the Darker Side of Life. It's very good and very personal; it must be hard to share this much of yourself with your poetry. Definitely voting for this. You seem cool.
hey katie i loved the poems very much my favorite ones are "Potrait of a Killer" and "Dark Vortex"
Kaitlin, your poetry is astounding. All so well written. This is truly a diary of the darker side of life. I loved every one of them! Best regards, Rena Kay
