SYNOPSIS: This is my weekend writing column for a review of a poem from a selected author. This Column is being titled as "Sunday Musings" with a view to feature an in-depth analysis of any one of the poems from the previous week's postings, selected by me at random to avoid the elaborate review or comment postings by me in the usual comments column. Poetess Kathelyn Dermes's  poems are short, but cute and great success, and have won much appreciations and comments from COSMO viewers.  Hence it was very difficult to choose the best one for my review. However, I shall plan this column in such a way to accommodate almost all style of poems by all poets and poetess of COSMOFUNNEL, which I hope will give more room for encouragement and inspirations to write. The poems selected are purely from my own liking and discretion and has nothing to do with the ratings, voting and favorite aspects. Hope, readers will understand my view point and enjoy my writing. My views and interpretations in this column are purely my own observations, and it has nothing to do with the personal life of the author of the poem. I am eager to read your feed-backs.  The poem which I have taken-up for this Sunday is  " Heroin "

Spiders crawl from empty eyelids

The venom in your veins,

releases the pain

The hero you turn to

dead, a lifeless soul

Bury your burdens

Behind brick walls

The flame of the candle only burns for so long

The poem depicts an analytical background on the effects of usage of drugs. The Poetess has done it within the framework of short words and sentences. Heroin produces a "downer" effect that rapidly induces a state of relaxation and euphoria (related to chemical changes in the pleasure centers of the brain). Like other opiates, heroin use blocks the brain's ability to perceive pain. Heroin abusers, particularly those with prior history of drug abuse which may initially be able to conceal signs and symptoms of their heroin use. Loved ones or co-workers may notice a number of signs of heroin use, which are visible during and after heroin consumption such as shortness of breath, dry mouth, constricted pupils, sudden changes in behavior or actions, disorientation, Cycles of hyper alertness followed by suddenly nodding off etc

Dear Poetess Kathelyn Dermes, many thanks for sharing such an amazing short and cute poem for us, wishing you good luck in your future verse writings, Regards & Love
