Hands
NinjaGirl said:

I\'ve always wondered this myself, what are you supposed to do with your hands when talking to someone?

By your sides = Weird, like a soldier
Crossed = You look angry or mad
Behind you = You\'re hiding something
Grabbing one wrist = Just looks awkward
Out/up = Weirdo, what are you doing? Starfish?

I will spend my whole life searching for the answer I swear.

The Witnessing
MendedFences27 said:

There\'s nothing like a shoreline respite to awaken a sense of \"reality\" in our minds. This poem draws some fine images toward the \"Truth\" of living. Thoroughly enjoyed. - Phil A.

Loren Ipsum
Bobby O said:

Darkness unexpectedly claimed all views from the position you assigned or perhaps designed a placeholder not even next in line but you kept me , my love to share found unaware or worse uncared indifference gifted without a blinking stare as you unmoved denied my dignity clear atmosphere

Say what you feel don’t just list things you wish were different

Codependency
L. B. Mek said:

wonderful clarity
while being true to your poetic potency
modernity is hard to word artistic
so much is blunt confrontation
and/or toxic wordless drama
it doesn\'t lend itself
for our subtle poetic reveals
(anyway i\'m blabbering
just a great read, loved
the sharp conversational tone
bringing in that edge
we need to maintain our boundaries
during such exchanges)
really i could go on, love this
thank you!

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.

This is truly haunting! A lovely thing to read as I turn off the lamp and drift to sleep in the wee wee hours...

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?
