Status Quo
jarcher54 said:

The word \"sad\" is a poem all by itself, but your three stanzas are beautiful because they are so real, so relatable, so honest... and pretty damn brave.

Mopping the River
L. B. Mek said:

so relatable, thanks for sharing
(that cursed cadence of paradox
we seek warmth when we\'re lonely
yet
our pulsing beat is most attractive
when we\'re soaring upon smiles)

Taking My Shot
Doggerel Dave said:

The only redeeming feature of this piece (apart from the fact that it is well constructed) is the rose stuck out of the barrel of the gun.
Noted you live in the United States, so I guess the gun imagery is par for the course with you Guys there.....🙂

Existential Angst
Doggerel Dave said:

I\'ll pay that one; extend it to \"I never asked to be born who I am\" and you have a guiding principle which should not only relate to me but underlie my judgement of others - did they ask to be born the way they are?

Ghost Girl
L. B. Mek said:

so, so clever!
from your title, to your structure\'s form and choice wording:
\'Cut short by a sudden change in wind,
Gusts trade vision with my projection.
Reversing in confusion- now I rescind.
For it’s you who holds my attention,\'
just a great write! thanks for sharing

Flowers on Fire
L. B. Mek said:

wonderful imagery, and such a well measured poem
I wish, a painter like Caravaggio
had made an immersive oil painting
of a similar image, you used
as accompaniment to your words..
and I wish, I had the talent
to write
such brilliantly expressive, relatable
and yet, simultaneously
compendious, stanzas:
\'Magnified by your light,
the sun that once pulled me up,
is setting my garden on fire.

Fueled by my extended drought,
and my failure to keep up with the weeds,
I’m burning fast; I’m burning bright.

My roots once around each other’s necks,
shrivel from the blackening smoke-
I’m letting go of my hold on myself.\'

\"It’s too cold out to ignite you.\" Very interesting vocabulary. Good luck igniting them.
