Interesting how we see outselves and how that may or may not change over the years. Loved the last line that put a cap on the poem

Grim Tidings part two
sorenbarrett said:

Still dark this poem\'s shadow falls hard. Metaphor after metaphor it calls out from the darkness.

Grim Tidings, part one.
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Wow! Wonderful poem and thankful for the explanation too. Sounds like a bit of a sucky \"Job\" moment in life (the Biblical character...not work...lol) I am hooked and waiting for part 2. πŸŒΉπŸ‘

Grim Tidings, part one.
sorenbarrett said:

This begins with a Dante epic type feel. The first stanza starts with a bang with its first two lines hitting right out of the box. I\'ll be waiting for part two.

Massive achievement here, Dan. For my part it was like two gargoyles animating and jabbing and roasting each other in the heights. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•Š

Dirty Shirt
Tristan Robert Lange said:

It\'s random, yet cohesive. I love the metaphor, my friend. It is melancholic, trying to make sense of the ongoing struggle as I read it. Well done. πŸŒΉπŸ‘

Dirty Shirt
sorenbarrett said:

Deeply philisophical this poem poses several questions almost of a retorical nature. The wind to me seems to be the blowing of thoughts through one\'s mind. Many metaphors here several great lines. This poem keeps the mind going reading after reading and I have read it three times. Very well worded and constructed it grows from a breeze to a gale.

That sounds like hell in my book, friend! And, hell would be distressful l, I\'d wager! Well done in this expression! πŸŒΉπŸ‘

Iron Under Acid
sorenbarrett said:

I get the image of an outclassed boxer to proud to give in being pummeled in a corner refusing to submit. Beaten broken humiliated but never surrendering. great images and an appropriate title as well. Slowly and gruesomely worn down. In life\'s fight we may all feel like this at times

Iron Under Acid
arqios said:

Your poem portrays a compelling narrative of struggle, perseverance, and eventual defeat. The language is rich and dense, creating an atmosphere of tension and impending doom. The inevitable toll of relentless pressure is quite haunting/daunting. Its rich language and vivid imagery create a haunting and memorable experience πŸ‘πŸ•ŠοΈ

Regrets echo in this poem time can not be reset and life goes on. There are things that can not be made good. A sound of lament in this poem that carries a shadow and a haunting feeling for we all have our own shadows that are heavy to carry
