DESCENT INTO MEDIOCRITY

The common taste is not for caviar but fish and chips. Cheap champagne fills the corner stores. A lovely write full of satire

Whether religion, politics, cultural values all forms of brainwashing and indoctrination are an insidious form of control over others. The poem has a creepy feel to it. Nicely written

CRUEL VERSE
sorenbarrett said:
The feeling of betrayal comes through in this poem of sadness. It is dark and mournful with the feeling of sadness. Nicely written with great flow.

I loved the feel of this verse and the wording was perfect for the meter. It has a comforting but haunted feel to it. Very nicely done a fave

We live in an individualistic world, economy, society with values weighed for the individual. Until we become communal nothing will change a good write that is mind provoking

FAVOURITE CHAIR
Ellen Marsell said:
The last line feels like a full stop at the end of a long breath.
After light, wind, and sea — silence and acceptance remain.
The whole poem seems to live within the old man’s gaze.
Beautifully done.

TOMORROWS KILLERS
sorenbarrett said:
Distancing is the key to making a soulless warrior. We have known this for a long time calling them Hun\'s, Japs, Gooks, Charlie. Now virtually putting them on a computer screen reduced to pixels works even better. Movies and video games are not real and neither does this appear to be. What\'s the harm in a little projected death on screen.

BRING THE WASHING IN

Death, the final song, but life doesn\'t stop.
It\'s raining, maybe tears, but the washing needs to come in for the final time.

BRING THE WASHING IN
sorenbarrett said:
This poem extends a common metaphor into one that is brilliant. Yes cloudy days, dark skies, rain as tears I have heard many times but time to bring the washing in sends a much more complex meaning and adds a new twist to the cliche. Loved it a fave
