Aaaah Sir, but isn't writing, whether prose or poetry, about expression, expansive fantasy in free flight?
The great thing about expression is that it doesn't matter whether people 'get' it or not, as long as you expressed something. More often than not, people, will conjure up their own interpretation, through the lenses that are their own life's experiences.
One would note young man, that based on the number of comments, their depth and feeling, nobody would consider you to have a 'shallow pool of ability'. To express something, is always a worthy contribution. Food for thought perhaps?
Write on (whatever your style),
Fearless
P.S. Writing both poetry and prose under one persona will only enhance your credibility.
P.P.S. You seem obsessed with the expression 'ball ache' - try a massage, or, if you're masochistic, Ralgex.

LTV,
I enjoy the concept here, but I too think you are off base in your thoughts, if these are indeed your thoughts and not just a poem. I have to take that into consideration. You may have just written this to write it not feeling what the MC feels. But if you are feeling that, know that you can succeed at both poetry and fiction. In fact, they complement each other greatly.

I am not sure I can add anything to that which ah salready been said othe rthan I think in verse 1 line 2 I would change the word 'off' to 'away' ( one pulls off but peels away normally and I think it owrks better with your words)
take care

I think you're giving yourself and overly hard time ;-) That said it is not uncommon actually for poets to be preoccupied with Death/ the idea of their own Death (or perhaps that's a bit passe ;-)!) Write on in whatever way you want! Nikki

Chanced upon this on a random read: is it your alter ego Shay? I have to say that I think it's a really well expressed - I like the slow change from reflective introspection to the irritated shaking off of an uncomfortable skin. That said: it's a skin you clearly inhabited rather well - is it not worth another go?:-) Shyama

Hey Lee
This just popped up on the random read box.
All I see however is

Which looking at the comments does not appear to be your poem, or if it is, it's a work of absolute genius :)
Thanks to either you, or the system administrators for this, really made me wonder hard for a minute :)
Bob :)
