Hello,
This is really good. I could see it playing in my head when I was reading. I can't wait to read more of your work. It got me to think of some of my stuff that I have written. Which is a good thing. I really like this a lot.

Quick note:
When I say "me" it's not actually me, it's just the narrator speaking it.
The winds are a raging cyclone,
driving to our insanity.
I feel broken inside;
my hope is gone.
It's hard to survive a day;
I see people kneeling down and crying on the streets,
they all feel broken inside.
There is too much heartbreak in the air for the angels to fly.
Before she was stolen from me, she whispered to me with her final breath,:
It's okay to cry. Your a survivor.
Split in two, I fell to the ground, sobbing.
thump, thump.
Will it take me too?
thump, thump.
It's violent winds block out the shining sun, it's gaping teeth swallowing it whole.
Thunder strikes, it's roar deafening.
Will I fall in the hands of a raging beast of nature?
My breaths come in short gasps as the beastly winds take(s) my breath away.
thump, thump.
The savage winds are the reflection of my insanity,
I will be forevermore broken, I am no survivor.

This was so perfectly scripted. It's really amazing. I pictured this in my mind.
Just a quick question.
Is this a outlook on your life? Is this how you feel in real life or is it something you just wrote?
Either way it's beautfuly written and I thank you for sharing this with us Keep your head up and your worries low and live like there is no tomorrow.

Margo Seuss here for a review on this fine Halloween Christmas. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on portraying a hopeless atmosphere with your writing. Phrases like 'raging cyclone',and, 'too much heartbreak in the air for the angels to fly' really make the reader go: 'that's so sad!' To experience a tornado/ life threatening natural disaster would surely make someone feel the way you have described in your writing. I found a few technical errors that you may want to take a look at.
Your a survivor.

Yo. Let's jam.
Let's start off with grammar and technical jibber jabber. You need to sweep through (before posting) and find the simple errors: i.e. you're vs. your; its vs. it's; subject-verb agreement. The piece is wrought with errors that are very easily mended.
The concept is easy enough to grasp--but made pointless because you use a line to blatantly state your premise:
The savage winds are the reflection of my insanity,
The story was great. Full of emotion and imagery. The metaphors work, as does the contrast between reality and imagination. It is really immersive, and it's like you see what is happening. Bravo. I can't think of what to remove, but I can think of what to add. Between the lines: "They all feel broken inside" and "There is too much..." I think you should add a line about the gloomy color. The setting is easy to tell, but if there was something like "the clouds cast a gloomy blue-ish shadow onto the earth below. The shadow has weight, and it's painful to bear." Then the imagery would really add to the story. But it's your story, do what you want. Keep up the good work!
