That\'s great M.E.M
if only there was a way to start a theme based section here on MPS, it would be very interesting to see the poems that would be written.
Great job

For some reason I found the odd stanzas (starting with the first) said more to me than the evens.
The first, for example, has much relevance in many (if not all) situations.

Sandy Thoughts
Doggerel Dave said:
Thank you - yes it did.
Rewarding read. You certainly made good use of that prompt. The sand - yes I know it\'s discomfort myself, and I\'ll try to confine those images to my own experience rather than dwell too long on yours...................
A special person if you can control your thoughts - please keep that skill in good working order.

Very descriptive in the way you let ‘your sandy thoughts’ run its court ‘and made them happy’ I always liked those prompts for such ‘describe a place’ poems-I also saw the imagery of your body becoming the cliff and the sands becoming the waves- it fit into the background composition-thanks for sharing…

Ghost Writer
SirStellar said:
First off, outstanding job on your poem! To be honest, I didn\'t see it as creepy, but maybe that\'s because of how loving and reflective the ghost was towards Mackenzie. I enjoyed the prompt itself and how effectively you conveyed it through your work, as it kind of hit home for me. The way the ghost went into the very specific details, especially of love and the stated relationships, added a layer of meaning since it\'s trying to help Mackenzie discover what she herself already knew. This, thus, was similar to therapy for her, I feel like. One last thought that I have is that the prompt you worked with stated \"a\" ghost, but what about a poem in which it was \"your\" future ghost writing to the present you? I think that\'d produce an engaging (or at least very thought-provoking) work! Still, great job on your poem, and I loved it!

Thank you. I have edited my comments by adding the following :
Some quotes :
‘Hearts, like doors, will open with ease
To very, very little keys.
And don’t forget that two of these
Are “I thank you” and “If you please” ‘

--Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

Keys can lock someone in or out. The smallest key can open the biggest door. There are keys to success, keys to freedom… The biggest door is useless without a lock or a bolt. That lock is useless without a key or its equivalent.

This offers a powerful message of support and encouragement to those who are struggling. It reminds us that we do not have to face our challenges alone and that there are people who are willing to help us through our pain.

There is a pull of the tourniquet around my bicep
as my fingernails dig into my skin, forming a fist.
Please let it only be one poke.
At the prick of the needle, I am sucking air through my teeth.
