Crazy sonnet
Tony Grannell said:
Oh my! Soren,
This is hard and as raw as it can get. Of a life from a head injury to a prison cell and the complete and utter shocking and horrific awfulness in between. A man possessed - to condemn or to understand, the latter; most difficult as one\'s concentration is centred on the the terrible history of the prisoner, with time one remembers the victims; the three young girls murdered and then to commit the crime of necrophilia, impossible to stomach. A hard-hitting poem, shot from the hip with the power that only a true poet can express. Excellent!
Wishing you the very best,
Tony.

This one stares straight into the abyss and doesn’t blink, my dear friend. You’ve taken madness, war, trauma, and horror and laid it bare in relentless rhythm. It\'s disturbing, yes, but also deeply human in its descent. Not for the faint of heart, but masterfully rendered, Soren. 🌹👏 A must fave for me.

Whoa, a bit of a brain teaser! Your poem explores the fluidity of gender identity and the complexity of human relationships. It suggests that while individuals may identify as different genders, they share commonalities and deserve respect and acceptance. It challenges traditional notions of gender roles and emphasizes that both masculine and feminine qualities can coexist. The poet serves to challenge preconceived notions of gender and identity, encouraging readers to embrace diversity and accept the complexity of human experiences. It aims to foster understanding and respect for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity or expression.

This poem tells tragicaly of the misery human beings live with, and the destructive power it can have. A life that never seemed to have a chance, confined within a cell of regret. A sad story, honestly and well told.

Friendship said:
Your poem explores the tragic descent into madness and violence of a man who is shaped by trauma, mental illness, and societal neglect. It portrays a dark narrative of how childhood experiences, compounded by war and psychological treatment, lead to horrific actions and eventual imprisonment. The poet serves as a critique of how society treats those with mental illness and the consequences of neglect and dehumanization. It raises questions about responsibility, the effects of trauma, and the complexities of human behavior when influenced by factors beyond one\'s control.
\"There is an ironic twist in how the man, who is a victim of his circumstances, becomes a perpetrator of violence.
