The Bobbing Apple\'s Dance
sorenbarrett said:
This game already old when I was young. I am not sure it is still practiced or not. It seems to me that the trick is to push the apple with the mouth against the side or bottom of the tub. Well written with a warm fall feel.

Eclipse of the Forgotten
sorenbarrett said:
In a skeleton of an edifice there is a ghost. A metaphor perhaps as well. The imagery and rhyme are wonderful and charming. It sets a tone of darkness. A lovely poem that is a fave

What a marvelous poem so well crafted with great rhyme set in good meter. It flows through the shadows to the end of its journey

The left is right the right is what\'s left they carve up voters with their arguments deft. But despite what their name both are the same. Both desire power and glory its the same in every story.

I have herd the analogy many times but never quite like this. Told as if to a small child it gleams with bright energy and bouncing joy of a child. A lovely and most refreshing version of the old story told with wonderful rhyme

sorenbarrett said:
A poem that in its literal sense is physical in metaphorical sense speaks about what the mind can no longer accept as well. Well written in good meter and rhyme it speaks to our times and what we can believe. Well done

Unseen Tomorrow
sorenbarrett said:
A ghost that has no voice and can not be seen. A spirit that goes unnoticed and misses the warmth of relationships. This may be true in this world as well even with the living. Sad

Trick or Treat, That\'s What They Say
sorenbarrett said:
A very good poem indeed and I had a similar experience in the 7th grade where my English teacher told me my poem must have been plagiarized but I won because I told her in an American court one is innocent until proven guilty and challenged her to find what was the poem I had copied. Very nice for the 6th grade I have to say

Ballade of the Tilt-A-Whirl
sorenbarrett said:
Now I have to say that I have never read a poem about a tilt-a-whirl before. This one was very descriptive and a fun ride in and of itself. Well done Matthew

drift in static
sorenbarrett said:
The use of colors heightens the mood described in this poem. There seems to be a mental drift as well and it carries me to a different dimension. Nicely done.
