MANS BEST FRIEND
sorenbarrett said:

Dogs and children both unpredictable in their behaviors and individuals with their own issues and personalities. We put children back in homes with abusers whether human or canine. It is the poor judgement of the law and parents that leads to tragedy. A most interesting write where values are displayed.

GRIEF
orchidee said:

Good write N. I\'ve read of \'cut to the heart\', that sometimes it\'s a response of grief, sadness, penitence, etc. In some other situations it can be anger, upset, raging, being indignant.
Meanwhile - you got that No.7 bus yet?! lol.

TREE ROOTS BY VINCENT VAN GOGH
sorenbarrett said:

This is a wonderful poem so deeply symbolic it relies on colors, metaphor and history to transform a tragic life into the beauty of art and now a poem. A fave

BARCODE
sorenbarrett said:

Where capitalism is established money is the bottom line by which all values are judged. People nothing more than a tool to achieve a goal and he that dies with the most toys wins. A lovely write

I feel the clinical call of this evil twin ...

CARAVAGGIO ( JUDITH AND HOLOFERNES )
Friendship said:

Your poem revolves around the exploration of violence and death, portrayed through the metaphor of art. The poet includes themes of murder, the duality of human nature, and the relationship between destruction and creativity. Nicely done.

MEMORY RETURNED
gray0328 said:

Your poem explores loss, memory, and the haunting presence of the past, framed through vivid sensory imagery and emotional introspection. It feels like the speaker is walking through the aftermath of something deeply personal โ€” perhaps a relationship that ended or the death of someone close โ€” and is caught between the realities of the present and the echoes of what once was. Well Done Norman

WHERE WAS YOUR JESUS ?
Friendship said:

A powerful poem. Your poem grapples with the absence and perceived indifference of divinity amidst human suffering, particularly in the context of war. It questions the presence of Jesus and the spirit of protection during tragic events characterized by death, destruction, and despair.

WHERE WAS YOUR JESUS ?
sorenbarrett said:

Powerful, and still poignant today maybe even more so. Not just in war declared but in our own streets between political factions and in our institutions where we treat illegal aliens as non human and even citizens as undeserving of life. A sad world we live in

January 20th, 2026 04:16

WHERE WAS YOUR JESUS ?
orchidee said:

The madness of war.

WHY ?
NafisaSB said:

Medals may have been won
At the cost of a brother or son ..
So many innocents slain
Si much grief and pain๐Ÿ˜”
