I didn’t even know there was a word for describing specifically a “non-sense” composition. AMPHIGORY. I swear the English dictionary is phenomenal with some of the words you will find. This wasn’t non-sense. It was a journey through the mind!

Prejudice
Rocky Lagou said:
That line, \"The rain that you smell is only the water from your well,\" is literally godlike. I mean zammm, that is one clever clever line. I love how you speak about human rights issues in your poems as I also like to prioritize that in my own works. It\'s so important in order to reach actual world peace. This is glorious!

Prejudice
Bella Shepard said:
Oh my dear, what a masterpiece! You have struck at the very core of Prejudice with such stunning accuracy, willful blindness, tunnel vision, call it what you like, it distorts the mind and diminishes the soul. So very well thought out and written dear poet.

Prejudice
L. B. Mek said:
love the impassioned, Fury
in your stanzas
but please take it all
with a pinch of salt, dear poet
we have to hope
we have a long way to go
before, our time ends
and so, we need
to pace ourselves:
“Grant me the serenity, to accept
the things I cannot change, the courage
to change the things I can
and the wisdom
to know the difference.”
Reinhold Niebuhr

I can relate to this this poem,with the myriad of reality television shows that we are inundated with here in the states. Survival in the wilderness (with or without clothes, with or without other people), buying beachfront property, rehabbing houses, and on and on ad nauseam. Thank you for this well deserved jab, very well penned.

I have \'met\' these \'people\' online in various guises. Keyboard warriors and trolls they are often named.
Great original poetry here, i\'ve not seen this subject covered before. Good one!

I love your AAB rhyme scheme! Anyway, \"pretend warriors\'--video games. \"Having no moxie to face the worlds strife\"---Actually that could pertain to a lot of people but I think you are referring to social media here.....This is a great poem!!--Christina

Bella Shepard said:
I admit I had to google Euhemerism, (you are expanding my vocabulary), and I thank you for that. This is thought provoking and so beautifully written. I fixated on \"carbon footprints pressed into diamonds\", the imagery of that just blows my mind. Thank you for this wonderful piece.

Anaclictic metamorphosis
Rocky Lagou said:
Wow I love this! I feel that boatman line refers to the trip made to the Underworld in Greek mythology in which you need to pay Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, a certain coin or else you\'re doomed to swim in the dark waters of the Styx for 100 years. From the title I feel that this could be an evolution from not relying on others to depending on yourself. Great job!

a butterfly, of a poem
deep threads, you pull at my friend
deep!
thanks for sharing
(love all your myth referencing, imagery
crossing time\'s borders
from one line to the next
I feel
James Joyce, would relate)

I love the paradoxical nature of your poem. Do we take on the attitudes of those we\'re surrounded by, simply by virtue of numbers? Or do we seek out those who think as we do, safety in numbers. Such a puzzlement. I love the way you pose your question. Well crafted piece.

So I assume this is about society viewing someone as either \"crazy\" or possibly \"provocative\" through their expressions (either artistical or personal) and forming judgments about whether or not it is \"morally okay\" to do those things. Interesting and it honestly happens quite often.

beneath your poetic mastery
of rhythmically pleasing, wordplay

to that true distilled state, of most
unsuccessful relationships..
wonderfully executed, a great read

Often people become fixed in a way of believing because those around them share a certain view. To think outside that train of thought can become frightening for them. In the case of religions it is often child induced fear which has been instilled in them.

Zamm! I feel this is directed to Christians, and possibly religion in general, as inferred by the title. But honestly you spoke some truth though. I love the way you challenged morality in this one and I like your brazen tone.

Question; does the whole perspective change if you\'re left handed? This was such fun, kudos for keeping it all straight, I think.

Yes. Your perspective, or your \"attitude\" towards life will really alter everything around you. It\'s powerful and we must always stay firm in our beings and our worth.

This is a great play with words and fearing a headache i gave up trying to figure it all out.
On reflection, if i turned around and looked over my shoulder would i have the right to feel i\'d been left behind?
