Ten Perfect Fingers, Ten Perfect Toes
sorenbarrett said:

So much metaphor in this poem. The perfect fingers and toes yet the broken doll still in the original wrapper and box. This feels dark. A powerful write still in the wrapper as well

On Self
sorenbarrett said:

A deeply philosophical write that emphasizes our aloneness. Nicely done it is a stark reminder of our individuality and isolation.

On Dreams
sorenbarrett said:

There are those vague thoughts and feelings that can not be put into words or even images. They drift in the backwaters of the mind and are lost in the reeds. Nicely written

I am just a shadow
sorenbarrett said:

A poem of humility that there is far too little of now days. A poem of hope that we all need. A poem of love that again is in shortage. Lovely

Summer Rain
Firefall said:

I was intrigued by your poem’s title. Your words capture the essence of the summer’s rain.

Whether just poetic description with stunning imagery or metaphoric of the storm inside it is great.

\"All the leaves are brown...\"
Cassie58 said:

Drawn by the title, Mamas and Papas, California Dreamin. How I loved their music. This poem has beautiful imagery, albeit a melancholic tone. Whenever I see a solitary magpie, I find I am always searching for a second one. Brown leaves and grey skies have an autumn feel, even in summer. Pleased I stopped by, to read your work today.
