A heavy-hitting piece, Soren. That second stanza especially is unafraid to dig...it is dread wrapped in rhyme, prescience wrapped in shadow. Love it, my dear friend. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

It captures inner conflict. Outer world seems bright and normal but internally unease.

You capture the queasy feeling of unease, when the subconscious seems to be at work. This poem evokes that eerie feeling quite powerfully.

Your poem “Gut Feelings” explores the tension between a seemingly normal exterior and an underlying sense of dread or unease. It reflects on the conflicting emotions that arise when one feels that something is wrong despite the outward appearance of stability and brightness.
which it seems to revolve around feelings of anxiety and foreboding, contrasting the beauty of spring with an internal sense of gloom. It delves into themes of intuition, the subconscious, and the haunting presence of unresolved issues from the past.

A sensation we all have at times, that nagging feeling this ain\'t what it appears and so on, some though get so fixated on that instinct that they end up making that instinct reality, hope that makes sense, another enjoyable read

Very true words soren, those in power do not care about others only themselves and what they can get out of it.

How indeed can we be deaf to history? I thump my forehead at each new example of humans disappointing, pleading ignorance of blatant facts. You speak from my brain brother, very nice.

Soren, this hits like a hammer swinging down with the weight of hard truth...and it should. No line’s wasted, and none of it flinches. That final stanza lifts without pretending we’ve earned it yet. Truth told clean. 🌹👏 Respect, my friend!

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Soren, you play brilliantly with perception. The rhythm is tight, but it’s the tension underneath...the knowing and not-wanting-to...that I really found to be killer (in a good way). You pull the curtain just enough... and leave us staring into the trap door. 🌹👏 Beautifully done.

This piece has a startlingly wonderful variation of intricate rhyme and variant terminology!! It deals with such a broad breadth of thematic concepts and reads like a breathless gauntlet of revelatory insight and wisdom! I sincerely loved the internal rhyme in this piece and all the concepts dealt with made it a kaleidoscopic musing of a brilliant poetic mind. Thankyou for writing this piece it was thrilling to read.

I live in ever decreasing hope that we evolve into a species where is the first thought and not war and suffering, but as you say history tells us this is never going to happen, nicely expressed and written

Well worded , nice poem that has satirical tone to criticize war fought for establishing peace .
The poem is full of irony, you highlighted power politics .
Nobody is permanent friend and nobody is permanent enemy.

Well written, your poem powerfully illuminates the transformative potential of humanity, spotlighting the cycle of war and the exploitation of the vulnerable, while emphasizing the profound consequences of war on individuals and societies. It inspires a vision of true peace, achievable through empathy and communal harmony, urging readers to ponder their roles within societal structures and cultivate peace. The poet seeks to empower critical thought, breaking the cycle of violence and unlocking a brighter future through understanding and compassion, issuing a call to action for readers to become the architects of a more harmonious world.

Seems to be speaking of yearning for something and not getting it. Mourning something intangible. Deeply layered and true.
