Sonnet I
MendedFences27 said:
I really felt this one. Having been in a similar situation, (Divided by sea) and having felt that insanity, your poem truly hit home.
Your format is unique, emphasizing bits and pieces of note. Other than it\'s a love poem, why call it a Sonnet?
Hope you worked things out. - Phil A.

Sonnet I
L. B. Mek said:
an intriguing read
really like your wordplay
thanks for sharing, dear poet
\'Divided by sea,
I see you parting seas,
Grasses greener so why you here?
The sleep, I should be asleep somehow I\'m weak, I can not sleep
I might not wake
I can not eat
This parasite is eating me

Words
L. B. Mek said:
\'Words that tore out atria
Words that brought light
Words that brought life
Words that divided day from night
Words that gave the hopeless might
Words to arouse\'
Amen!
and Poet\'s who deliver these words
accessibly succinct
and
illuminatingly, sincere
are
what we need, to unveil
life\'s
cyclical trappings of inherited
circumstance..
Poet\'s, like you!

Touched
L. B. Mek said:
(reality, can be so cruel
so many lament
their assumed lack of beauty
and yet
so many, are cursed to a life
of ill-fated, inhumane abuse
from such a young age
helpless, defenceless, blameless
yet
we see them, decades later
irreversible, bruises
now sharpened to poisonous
thorns
and sucking our thumbs, we
lament
them
for doing, what they must
to simply survive, the nightmares
endlessly, replaying on repeat)
I laud the depth of your empathy, dear Poet
I aspire for your level of humanity
thank you!

indisputably: Brilliant! poetry
thank you, truly
\'A blank page I play
And people scribble on it with colours that stay
Words go astray like cats and dogs at night
and leave a hole in my soul I cannot weigh\'
(so, so
so relatable and that you
purposefully
chose, to word it accessible
is something i respect you for
more, than your poetic genius)
again, thank you!
