GRIEF
orchidee said:
Good write N. I\'ve read of \'cut to the heart\', that sometimes it\'s a response of grief, sadness, penitence, etc. In some other situations it can be anger, upset, raging, being indignant.
Meanwhile - you got that No.7 bus yet?! lol.

Where capitalism is established money is the bottom line by which all values are judged. People nothing more than a tool to achieve a goal and he that dies with the most toys wins. A lovely write

CARAVAGGIO ( JUDITH AND HOLOFERNES )
Friendship said:
Your poem revolves around the exploration of violence and death, portrayed through the metaphor of art. The poet includes themes of murder, the duality of human nature, and the relationship between destruction and creativity. Nicely done.

MEMORY RETURNED
gray0328 said:
Your poem explores loss, memory, and the haunting presence of the past, framed through vivid sensory imagery and emotional introspection. It feels like the speaker is walking through the aftermath of something deeply personal — perhaps a relationship that ended or the death of someone close — and is caught between the realities of the present and the echoes of what once was. Well Done Norman

WHERE WAS YOUR JESUS ?
Friendship said:
A powerful poem. Your poem grapples with the absence and perceived indifference of divinity amidst human suffering, particularly in the context of war. It questions the presence of Jesus and the spirit of protection during tragic events characterized by death, destruction, and despair.

Powerful, and still poignant today maybe even more so. Not just in war declared but in our own streets between political factions and in our institutions where we treat illegal aliens as non human and even citizens as undeserving of life. A sad world we live in
