GUTTERS CURSED

This leaves the feel of ruin and destruction, devastation. Metaphorically it spells disaster on an emotional level. Nicely done

A VIOLENT NIGHT
Friendship said:
Well written, this poem serves to explore the darker aspects of human experience, reflecting on how external environments can influence internal states, as well as the fragility of human existence in the face of violence and chaos. The poet\'s reflection may be a form of catharsis or an attempt to make sense of a turbulent experience.

A VIOLENT NIGHT
sorenbarrett said:
Thoughts can be violent not in physical but mental and emotional manner. A long and lonely night can easily foster them. Well written

If the theme was not so violent. I would say - a bad-hair night then? Instead of a bad-hair day!

DAY WITHOUT WORDS
sorenbarrett said:
A tumultuous exit and sad departure is conveyed in this poem with no resistance from the second party. Well written I could hear that car door and the engine.

DAY WITHOUT WORDS
orchidee said:
Goo write N. Yes, I never said a word either. Had a day without words, went off in a huff, threw my toys out of my pram, etc! lol.
I would add hissy fit too, but it seems that is an outburst of anger, when words would be said.

THE HOTTEST DAY
orchidee said:

Lips which told so many lies. This line for me ties the previous bright memories and images to something darker and more painful. I love the merging of the two. A lovely poem

This poem holds a ethereal beauty to its cryptic and rather esoteric wording. It reaches beyond. Lovely

MOMENT WITHOUT A COAT
sorenbarrett said:
I like the way that the second character is left anonymous and can be taken for an old lover, friend or even a symbolic piece of oneself. The startle at seeing and the wondering of where they had been as a ghost fits so well. Very nicely worked out and written a fave

Thank you N. I had a coat. I became a bore at a party, so I had to say \'I\'ll get my coat\' (and be gone). lol.

LANDFILLS CHILD
sorenbarrett said:
Although for the homeless and sending a strong message it can be taken as a general criticism of society and religion the preaches taking care of each other and the poor but values riches and greed that always is awarded first prize. This poem is so poignant at this time of year and very nicely constructed. It does what I feel a good poem must do it engages the emotion. A fave
