THE SAME GRAVE LAID
sorenbarrett said:
Deeply poignant and applicable to all ages it reflects a dark truth that man has not evolved too far from ape and that the equality of death is the justice that nature meets out. A fave

This poem sets the scene well with painted images of solitude and almost abandonment that fit the title and last line so well

GOTHIC STAINED
sorenbarrett said:
Ignoring the light is sometimes chosen as a way of continuing. A deep poem of a most reflective nature and sometimes reflection can be too painful to consider.

MOMENT
sorenbarrett said:
Anthropomorphizing time in this poem gives it a both seductive and terrifying quality. Nicely done in short ticking words that fall like seconds on a clock

GUTTERS CURSED
sorenbarrett said:
This leaves the feel of ruin and destruction, devastation. Metaphorically it spells disaster on an emotional level. Nicely done

A VIOLENT NIGHT
Friendship said:
Well written, this poem serves to explore the darker aspects of human experience, reflecting on how external environments can influence internal states, as well as the fragility of human existence in the face of violence and chaos. The poet\'s reflection may be a form of catharsis or an attempt to make sense of a turbulent experience.

A VIOLENT NIGHT
sorenbarrett said:
Thoughts can be violent not in physical but mental and emotional manner. A long and lonely night can easily foster them. Well written

If the theme was not so violent. I would say - a bad-hair night then? Instead of a bad-hair day!

DAY WITHOUT WORDS
sorenbarrett said:
A tumultuous exit and sad departure is conveyed in this poem with no resistance from the second party. Well written I could hear that car door and the engine.

DAY WITHOUT WORDS
orchidee said:
Goo write N. Yes, I never said a word either. Had a day without words, went off in a huff, threw my toys out of my pram, etc! lol.
I would add hissy fit too, but it seems that is an outburst of anger, when words would be said.

Lips which told so many lies. This line for me ties the previous bright memories and images to something darker and more painful. I love the merging of the two. A lovely poem

This poem holds a ethereal beauty to its cryptic and rather esoteric wording. It reaches beyond. Lovely
