BRING THE WASHING IN
Paul Bell said:
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

AS IF A DREAM
sorenbarrett said:
Beautiful in and of itself it seems a metaphor as well of modern life where we replace the past with the modern be it technology or relationships. I miss the past. Very nicely written and a fave

Love the personification in this poem where images take on human qualities. It is a beautiful word painting.

DERELICT
sorenbarrett said:
This poem paints beautifully a picture of what was once a house fallen into neglect a metaphor for a person as well. It is not just age and time that takes such a toll but disregard. It gives a melancholic feel that is somehow haunted. Very nicely written and a fave

THE UNWELCOME STRANGER
sorenbarrett said:
Sad, lonely and desolate are words that come to mind with this poem. Isolated on a sea of people, nothing more lonely than that. Nicely done it casts a mood.

The voice of the city and the voice of loneliness.
I liked the rhythm of the poem.
Short lines, like the sound of footsteps.

DESTRUCTION
sorenbarrett said:
This poem has some association with my tomorrow\'s post. It seems so true that man and ants are the war wagers on this planet. Most other animals kill only for food or survival. Nicely composed

THE GRINDSTONE

An interesting poem poem written about the flaws of capitalism and those that lead it. Its a very unfair fact of capitalism that the rich get rich and the poor get poorer.

BACK WHERE I STARTED

Its hard to go back sometimes. Our minds fill up with memory instead of the now. At least thete is hindsight and hopefully people that once were and now are again important.

Going back can be heartbreaking, the memories just never live up to past you once lived.
Hope yours was good.
