After the Ending
sorenbarrett said:
Life and poems full of paradoxes and this poem has a few. Very nice to engage the mind and reader. The opening started this way. The ending I loved. It implies that life would be boring if one were not able to be awed. Lovely

The Violin Man
sorenbarrett said:
This is a wonderful poem and I can see how it is a song as well. The refrain is great and brings a sense of emotion to this piece. The last two lines are a prefect finish to this piece.

Loved the first two lines and the last the most. They convey a distant and mystical feeling to this poem. Very nice.

Amelia
sorenbarrett said:
Masterfully worded this write in verse conveys love and care and the advance of age or infirmity that tears from us those we love. You have conveyed so well the dance of life and love. Another piece of art that I could feel. Brilliant!

Where else do these sheep get their information from these days?
I’ve lived between the UK and Australia over the years. (see personal profile)
UK ‘60’s and ‘70’s – I obtained a three year social science degree when not only were my fees paid, but I had a living allowance paid also. Further, Adult education classes were free. Policy objective to build an informed public.
In Australia at the same time, university education was free. A large proportion of our current politicians benefited. Now fees which may burden for the rest of an ex student’s life. Adult education classes not subsidised either. Only attendees are old fogies like me who can afford.
My middle name , BTW is Squeakywheel…

Maybe it is only recently that we have seen ourselves as sheep. Awakening from the matrix this awareness leaves us paranoid and jaded believing in nothing and even more susceptible to manipulation by the wolves. Great write with very nice flow and rhyme loved it.

sorenbarrett said:
This is a very powerful write that slowly takes hold of the reader, then with many great lines drags him along down dark streets and ally\'s, through seldom tread walkways in the mind of a tortured soul. The questions are human, ones we all ask but haven\'t the courage to utter. Here great lines
\" from praying to gods he does not believe in
for an insanity that will not be granted;\" echo these thoughts. For anyone that has passed this way a hidden masterpiece.

Can You Wash Me?
Dan Williams said:
You people are embarrassing me. I guess after fifty some years of trying I should produce a winner or two. Like the monkey at the typewriter who eventually types his name. Thank you.

Can You Wash Me?
Bella Shepard said:
The pain seems overwhelming, but you write it out of you, instead of letting it lie in wait, and I think that\'s a positive thing. Your fingers on the keys perhaps begin to let go of what is pent up inside. A very powerful and truthful write my friend.

sorenbarrett said:
This poem reeks with pain. This I believe is one of my favorite of yours. It begins so powerfully and the rhyme and rhythm aid in the building emotion. Word choice is superb. If I may be so bold, watch the repetition of words and phrases. By my definition this is definitely a piece of art. Brilliant!

if this disclosure all wrapped in a poem is autobiographical then it must have been close to devastating ..
I trust you have now moved on .. Now wishing you All Good Things, Neville

I like the way you create a commanding mood and shift into asking question. As if you know the metaphorical stain is yours until you cope or deal and those questions might have been just to announce and to gather

This poem reads so well in its rhythm and rhyme but more so each stanza has its metaphoric meaning nicely tucked away. Loved it
