Anthems Of My Generation
arqios said:
This poem really captures the weight of disillusionment. And the way youthful anthems that once promised freedom now echo against emptiness. I especially liked the imagery of the “paper moon” and “vacant bottles,” which makes the whole piece feel both surreal and painfully grounded. The ending, stepping through the beads into tomorrow, lands as weary but defiant. 🕊️🙏

Well written, your poem may be an exploration of personal and collective disillusionment, reflecting on the challenges of navigating reality and the search for meaning amidst emptiness and loss. It invites readers to confront their own perceptions and the often painful truths of existence.

This poem is filled with metaphor following metaphor in short disconnected lines that feel surreal and estranged leaving a feeling of not belonging in a strange world of noncausal happenings. Here one enters tomorrow and what ever it brings. Very nicely written

Powerful words of emotions running fast for a deteriorating world. In this fearful place the only hope seems to be from a higher power that was not previously felt to exist. Lovely work

Powerful and timeless
but still reluctant to knock on new doors.
Offering credentials that misrepresent
as noble scoundrel, counterfeit hero
who thunder will not deafen. water will not wet,
even in this fifth season tempest.
Love these lines dear Dan. 🌹

Here physiology and everyday events are placed in allegory painted metaphors become the form of communication. It would seem mad to some but then so does poetry. Nicely done

In a world where clarity is often demanded but rarely delivered, \"confusion\" embraces the dissonance. This poem doesn’t seek resolution; it revels in the contradictions, the misfires, the surreal logic of a mind navigating fractured realities. It’s a meditation on the discomfort of ambiguity, and a challenge to those who insist that meaning must always be linear.

Your poem explores themes of personal redemption, introspection, and the struggle against ego and past mistakes. It reflects the Poet\'s journey toward self-awareness, grappling with feelings of regret and the desire for atonement.

This is a wonderful poem of self reflection. It is an giant step forward to be able to own the mistakes of the past, and in doing so find forgiveness for yourself. A fine and courageous write!
