WHEN KINGS WERE SLAIN
sorenbarrett said:
The old replaced by the new not always for the better and a destroyer of memorable places. Progress is sad in some ways. Nice write

THE VOTE

A letter from the Old Country. Thought you were from America for a while there, where something similar, i believe is going on.
Unequal societies become even more unequal.
The UK, it would appear is not the UK I knew in the \'Sixties and \'seventies.

Always a battle between man\'s greed and that of compassion in an overloaded rowboat where so many are drowning who do we take in? Some say all can be saved but with eight billion and growing on a planet with limited resources where do individual freedoms end and group rights begin? A heavy poem

HUNGER WINTER
Poetic Licence said:
This reminds me of the horror of the second world but i am sure it could apply throughout the history of man to the current day, a sad dark but very poignant write, nicely expressed

This poem is a testament to life\'s renewal cycle. Two scenes contrasting in life, but life always brings reprise.

GRAINS OF SAND

I love the feel of this poem as it seems to drip out one drip at a time to quench the thirst of the reader.

HUNGER WINTER
arqios said:
A read that strikes with chilling precision: its imagery raw, its rhythm relentless. It doesn’t flinch as it unveils a grim chapter of human cruelty, echoing the bleak cold of both the season and the soul. The lines don’t just recount horror; they inhabit it, making the reader feel every footstep, every price paid.

Dark, very dark as were the times if speaking of the second world war. There were other times as well each a dark age. If not literal but a metaphor equally dark. Well written with wording that sets the mood.

THE HAND OF POE

A bottle of Cognac and three red roses on a grave top. Loved Poe and his work. Gothic, ghostly, and a true romantic. A lovely write

THE DOOR
sorenbarrett said:
This poem has a very nice subtle rhyme scheme to it with internal rhyming to make it flow but not have a nauseating sweetness to it. It works well and carries the reader on through the poem to the end. A poem of a dream that takes one to wakefulness. Lovely

DREAM OF SARA
sorenbarrett said:
An emotional poem of memories evoked by things around with the feeling of loss in the past and a sense that it will not be regained. Wintery as cast by the snow flakes which are also delicate and beautiful as is the memory. Sad, longing, wistful. Well done

This poem drips with memory and longing, soaked in the atmosphere of a dimly lit venue and the ache of repetition. Very touching and moving 🕊️

WHAT IF
sorenbarrett said:
Although humorous as in most humor there is a bit of truth. I certainly don\'t want to play a harp for eternity and would rather push the limits a bit by pulling on God\'s robe for a laugh. A fave

CASTLE IN THE CLOUDS

Sadness frozen in this poem. No greater loss that that of a parent that looses a child. A most tragic poem

A MOTHERS GRIEF
sorenbarrett said:
In this poem the question is posed as to the individual against the needs of many the actions of the innocent against the guilty. The issue of God vs. nothing. We all search for understanding and meaning and whether we ascribe it to God\'s will or Chaos and random actions of the universe it still give no answers. A poem that raises questions and doesn\'t answer them and a fave
