Uncle Sam vs. Lady Liberty
sorenbarrett said:
A wonderful allegory and so well imaged in this poem that aptly depicts the division in a country. It had good flow that pulled the reader on and is poignant to the problems of the present. Well balanced and unbiased it presented a fair depiction. Very nicely done.

The Illinois Waltz

Is it the system or the person that is corrupt, the question being asked in this comprehensive write, I don\'t think they all enter corrupt but they all end up corrupt. Sadly this wonderful account of the demise of a politician, will not be the last to be caught, really enjoyed the read

An epic poem reveling the fall of a politician and posing the question of is it the system or individual frailty that leads to corruption. As for me the system stinks and there is no way of being in it without being corrupted. Some get caught most don\'t. A good write

Buried Alive
sorenbarrett said:
The literal meaning is a hollow echo under earth and wood. The metaphorical even more horrid as one is buried alive in the coffin created by self and others to suffocate in isolation and ignominy without recognition. A terror and what nightmares are made of.

So well written this poem and story myth resounds with the power of not only the pen but the human heart which as the sacrifice of the Aztecs to the sun god is taken still beating. This poem still beats in its words and meaning of a culture long past a sacrifice to another god more brutal.

With a moderate to tough difficulty level, acrostic poetry, a staple of the genre but not quite celebrated as one might think it could be. 🕊️🙏🏻

Quite a work Matthew this poem walks one through the lives of many rich and poor, young and old, powerful and common. It makes the point that in the end we all end up in the same place and it is what we do here that makes the difference. Well rhymed and flowing with good meter it carries the reader on the journey leaving them outside the gate back in life. Lovely and a fave
