The last stanza is an example of visceral writing. Perhaps \'liked\' would be inaccurate. May be- \'educational\' is closer to what I felt.

Soft dreams
Paul Bell said:

Where we hide, the mist pass by.
Only time the days ask why.
Locked in an iron room with no way out.
Left only a dream and hopeless doubts.

Soft dreams
Friendship said:

Your setting is metaphorical, revolving around the mind and emotional landscapes rather than a physical location. The poet seeks to articulate the universal experience of longing for the comfort of dreams while confronting the painful realities of life, resonating with anyone who has felt trapped by their circumstances. Your poem also explores the conflict between dreams and reality, highlighting feelings of disappointment and entrapment. It conveys a sense of longing for the comfort of dreams while grappling with the harsh realities of life. And yet your poem delves into themes of disillusionment, the fragility of dreams, and the psychological struggle of being trapped in one\'s own mind. It portrays the tension between the desire for escape through dreams and the inevitability of confronting painful truths.I must say, this dream is quite disturbing.

Fine words soren, but over the many years I have lived in this house I have never had trick or treaters come to my house.

Nice one. I used to Hollow out a Turnip also when younger. Now it\'s all Commercial.
When Kids come to the door dressed as Witches; I sometimes would like to answer it as Mathew Hopkins : Witchfinder General. Give THEM a fright.

I really liked the write, but it is just another chance to ring those pennies out of you, thousands of people celebrating something that they have no idea the history off, have a great weekend

Halloween
Friendship said:

The poem \"Halloween\" delves into the historical roots and transformation of Halloween customs, underscoring the dichotomy between the ancient rituals associated with the holiday and their contemporary interpretations. It examines the interplay of cultural beliefs, spirituality, and the evolution of the celebration over time, encompassing All Hallows\' Eve, the significance of costumes and masks, the tradition of trick-or-treating, and the symbolism of jack-o-lanterns. Furthermore, the poem explores the darker aspects of the holiday, including its connections to mortality and the supernatural.

Wow! Would it be wrong if I unpacked it as an allegorical poem on desecration of the spirit of Halloween due to commercial gains?

Ahh, a fine poem describing KP and her deeds - or \'antics!\' lol. She needs no Halloween masks. Scary enough without them. Is there a shortage of pumpkins apart from Halloween time? lol.

The day for the dead to explain their plight.
Have you noticed the trick or treaters are turning up to your door with card machines now?
What the hell is happening out there.

A grotesque commercial celebration devoid of all spirituality in which the dead do not participe !

Tyrant
Poetic Licence said:

The force and power of nature when unleashed is usually because of something man has done to provoke it or a natural occurrence. The force and power of the tyrant is violently displayed with no provacation except the danger of losing that power. Interesting write z enjoyed the read

Tyrant
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Soren, “Tyrant” moves like thunder with a conscience...nature, God, and humanity all collapsing into one figure of control. The storm becomes the empire, the empire becomes the storm, and only after destruction does it whisper absolution: “Punishment death, the dead forgiven.” 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛ Well done!

Some they say, you know he\'s coming like a hurricane, let\'s get running.
But once let in, the end is nigh, it\'s time to die.

Tyrant
Friendship said:

Well-written, Soren Barrett, the poem \"Tyrant\" explores themes of power, oppression, and the consequential impacts of climate change. It portrays a tyrannical force—possibly a metaphor for nature or authority—exerting control through violent imagery. The subject matter reflects the intersection of human conflict and environmental devastation, suggesting that both can lead to suffering and death. Yet your poem is to provoke thought about the consequences of neglecting both the planet and the structures of power that govern human relations, urging readers to recognize the interconnectedness of these challenges

My dearest Soren I did enjoy reading this here. Your correlations with lightning and thunder is an exact. Amazing written.
You’ve stated “ With hurricane breath orders given Punishment death, the dead forgiven”
I’d have to say, your play on words here is intriguing. I, well for me, it’s like it reeled me in. For me this line of my favorite or choosing it’s a “audience pull” it’s giving that feel.
🥂👏🏻 Overall beautiful with every word. A daunting write. 💯
