WRITERS BLOCK
Paul Bell said:
Why does writers block end at four in the morning?
Is this to get you up, or is your mind taking the Michael.

THROUGH THE LENS
sorenbarrett said:
This to me evokes images forming a metaphor. An old photograph, a memory that is disregarded and a life the same lost in war both covered with dust the dead and old photograph lost in the past. A lovely and soft but sad reminder that neither the dead or photos have any worth in the present a fave

AUSTERITY BY ANOTHER NAME
arqios said:
This poem lays bare how austerity isn’t just economics but a quiet form of violence.
By showing policies as “signatures laced” with harm, it exposes how detached leaders can devastate lives without ever facing those who suffer. The imagery of the vulnerable as “falling leaves” drives home the human cost hidden behind official language.

This poem has a charming flow that is created by short rhyming lines. The message is consistent that aids the flow as well. Sad but well written

BY YOUR GRAVESIDE
sorenbarrett said:
This reads like a prayer to a dead father, mother or spouse. It recognizes their superiority and humbly begs forgiveness for not measuring up. It rings with sincerity and humility. Very nicely said in good rhyme and meter

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