NIGHT OF STARS
Lorenz said:
Lying on the ground on a remote island in the south Pacific I contemplated the myriad stars, wondering where the gods might be hidding ?

NIGHT OF STARS
Friendship said:
I can relate to this poem so well. Well written. Your poem revolves around themes of loneliness, isolation, and the search for connection amid despair. The imagery of the \"starry night\" symbolizes both beauty and a sense of longing, while the references to “open wounds” and “yearning” highlight deep emotional pain and desire for understanding or companionship. The poem suggests a contemplation of one\'s inner self in the face of existential loneliness, evoking a profound sense of introspection.

In a surreal approach this poem reaches for the heavens to unite oneself with nature and the universe. Most lovely

CARAVAGGIO The Incredulity of Saint Thomas
sorenbarrett said:
Here the doubting Thomas and so we all are I scarcely believe what I do see and touch in a world of scams, technology that can create your picture doing things in places you have never been. One does not know what to believe anymore. Nicely done

CARAVAGGIO The Incredulity of Saint Thomas
orchidee said:
Good write N. Should we have patience with Thomas, or be a bit annoyed with him? He disbelieved the other 10 disciples who saw Jesus (Judas was gone by then). But he insisted on seeing for himself. The 10 may have said or thought: \'You calling us all liars, Thomas?\'

A most picturesque poem of the sea and its battering a rock wall. Very nicely imaged and although not clearly evident a possible metaphor as well

WHEN TOWERS FELL

Towers will continue to fall, soon many will tumble.
Especially like this line
An ashtray
Which overflowed
Half cigarettes
Like stubbed toes

WHEN THE SOLDIERS CAME
RSM0812 said:
I love the write but disagree with the ending a bit. War and death as escalation goes, so will death and killing. Sometimes the only species on earth to invent and practice war needs a break. Hopefully sooner then later. The imagery was really well written and the rhyme scheme was perfect as always. Keep writoling.

THE DESERTED BOY
sorenbarrett said:
Heart breaking this hits hard a very emotional write. Sad and all too prevalent, it also happens when mothers take their children and fly to another state and undisclosed destinations. It is the child that suffers. Well written a fave

Pawns sacrifical pieces in a royal game. Nicely written Norman it makes its point in a powerful metaphoric manner
