Comment: her last mood ring

 Hey Colleen,

I like lots of what you're doing here. Lots of images and colors. I do think there are some awkward bits that could use some tweaking. Particularly the last line. I feel like the wording is ok, but the point seems a bit twisted. I mean, is it proof she was whole... once, in the past, or is she whole now? And then of course the poet in me has to ask the question... is there anything other than perfectly whole? Isn't whole... whole?

The first line is really really good. The second, I am a bit uncomfortalbe with the 'that cold October eve' - not the idea of it, just that somewhat dated forced construction.  I'd look carefully at the phrase 'or so she thought' - it's borderline cliche -- which isn't bad necessarily, but I'm not sure you want what a cliche brings. This image is otherwise very crisp and I'd rather see you accentuate that.
