Hi Charlie...I'm reviewing this as part of the 30DBC review challenge. I'm not a serial reviewer...I don't have a fancy template and I'm only using snap judgments. In all my years on WDC, I've only reviewed a handful of items, so I don't claim to know what I'm doing.

I chose this because I was intrigued by the mental illness description...I've dealt with depression and addiction for a long time, so I feel like I can relate. And this piece pretty much nails it..."It’s in bed with you. Curled around your blankets, Holding you closely." Yeah, that's about right.

The only drawback, and maybe it's just personal preference, to this item, is capitalizing every line even if it's in the middle of a sentence. From a technical standpoint, it kinda throws things off. That's my only complaint.

But this is my favorite kind of poetry...free verse with a personal, almost confessional vibe.

Thanks for joining WDC, brother, and for taking part in the 2014 Camping Challenge. It's been a blast getting to know you, and I appreciate all you do for the WDC community.
