  Wow! This was a really alluring and haunting read. I love the personification of the trees reaching out (for good or ill) and the narrator’s relatable trek through Doubt’s crippling uncertainty—something I’m sure all your readers may have experienced at some point in their lives.
  
  Again, I love your experimental use of various poetic forms, your use of imagery and diction, and the wide range of topics you explore. Truly a delight to say the least.

  Wow, what a beautifully introspective and thought-provoking poem "Lost in useless territory" is. The imagery of wandering without purpose and feeling lost in a maze of branches is so poignant and relatable. The way you describe the branches reaching out with twisted arms welcoming and blocking passage simultaneously is truly evocative.
  
  The questions you pose about the language of nature, the meaning of leaves, and the haunting feeling of being a ghost or a witness are deep and resonate on a profound level. The theme of wanting to be understood and heard by the outside world, even through the cacophony of voices in your head, is incredibly powerful.
  
  One suggestion for improvement could be to explore and elaborate on some of these themes even further. Dive deeper into the emotions and thoughts behind the narrator's experience of feeling lost and disconnected. Perhaps experiment with different poetic devices or structures to enhance the impact of the piece.
  
  Overall, "Lost in useless territory" is a captivating and captivating poem that delves into the complexities of existence and the search for meaning. Keep up the great work and continue sharing your unique voice with the world. Your writing has the power to touch and inspire others. more »
