A LATIN GARDEN
sorenbarrett said:

Norman this poem has a special thing about it that I can not put my finger on. It has good flow and a rolling meter that carries the reader onward, the rhyme is good and engaging and the message is haunting but there is something else intangible that I like about it. A fave

POWER SCREAMING
sorenbarrett said:

A most thought provoking poem about the nature of man. Man a social animal that thrives in community is acculturated follower by nature looking to a leader for direction and when it is the wrong leader freedom is lost. Lovely write

OLD PHOTOGRAPHS

A poem of photographs but about time and memories left behind. Some stored in the open and others tucked away. Nicely worded and somewhat nostalgic in nature. Nicely penned.

THE INEVITABLE STORM
sorenbarrett said:

This poem can be read literally or metaphorically but I choose to read it in the middle of someone in a literal storm but speaking to the storm metaphorically. Time and age affect all and is a storm that we all weather regardless. Even the wind dies eventually and often at night. Nicely written

THE GRINDSTONE
sorenbarrett said:

Capitalism at its best (worst). Empires built on dead men\'s bones and passed on fortunes. Corruption rules and he that dies with the most toys wins. A good read

PAINTED NAILS
sorenbarrett said:

A disabled mind taken advantage of and all the complications that follow in a memory that distorts fantasy from reality serves as a metaphor for all of us with our own mental limitations in a plane where there is a separate reality for each. Loved it

sorenbarrett said:

A poem that reflects choices we have to make that determine our future. Nicely worded
