Neglect and abuse lead to deterioration in this poem of literal towers of metaphorical body in either case collapse. Nicely written

Indeed how that simple substance is so necessary for life itself. So tightly woven in the fabric of life its pattern of condensation and evaporation essential for all. A blessing from above to those below. Nicely written

PROCESSION
sorenbarrett said:
Dirges of the dead in this poem that laments the death of poetry. Although not as popular as it once was, and how could it be in a society now almost illiterate, it still stimulated a few. Not like TikTok with its millions of view a few thousand is considered a lot. Well done

THE ARTISTS EYE
sorenbarrett said:
A beautiful depiction of the act of creation in painting (in metaphor) and drawing that I see as preceding actualization. Nicely worded with great images.

Somewhat surreal this poem in metaphor casts a cold and rather sterile image causing me shivers and that is enough for a fave

I like the casual rhyme as well as the general concept of this that takes us from self to the astronomical and cosmos to myth and religion all seem to point to the fact that in our loneliness and isolation we are not alone. lovely and a fave

THE MANTLED GHOST

Thinly vailed this piece to me represents the ghost of the past year leaving. Poignant and well timed it speaks out and greets the new. A Happy New Year to you as well

Nicely done, Your Poem revolves around the transition from one year to the next, encapsulating feelings of solitude, reflection, and the bittersweet nature of time.

MIDNIGHT UPON
sorenbarrett said:
Some choose to be alone while others crave company. Being banished and ostracized one of the worst punishments the ancient world could meet out today is self chosen with our headphones to drown out noise our fixed stare on a screen as we sit in a cubicle screened off from all and with blinders on our eyes to not see what happens around us. A good write

I\'m guessing this is a love that did not live, it \"faltered.\" How tragic to lose what was thought to be forever. Bless you.

HEARTBEAT SUBMERGED
sorenbarrett said:
This poem\'s meaning seems to fade into and out of view like that reflection in the glass. It depends on which angle it is viewed from. A rather reflective poem.

THE LONELY DAWN
orchidee said:
It\'s no joke people being on one\'s own for too long - can stretch into months and years even. Good write N.
Meanwhile - Cooeeeee!!! I popped in, not leaving you lonely. \'Oh no, not you again!\' you reply? \'shattering my peace, my silence, my solace\'. lol. I turned up like a bad.....smell. lol.

Solitude magnified by time leaves a sad and mournful feel to this poem. It seems to be a portent of gloom and is dark in its feel. Well done
