REALIST NOT A ROYALIST
Doggerel Dave said:
Patriotism, Nationalism, Jingoism and their connection to war. I\'ve banged on about these buggers many times before. Any additional contributions, especially with decent poetry such as this I heartily welcome. Thanks.

REALIST NOT A ROYALIST

With good rhyme this poem in telling its story asks the question of why we are treated as we are by those above us and why we put up with it. Very nicely told.

ANOTHER DAY OF WAR
sorenbarrett said:
A poem for peace. I hear the frustration in this poem. The meter drives it with periodic rhyme to hold and give more power. A lovely write with a worthy theme. Very nicely done

LOVE DYING
Hollow Enigma said:
great great great poem. love to have fun reading this rhythm. though dont assume to know, but I\'m feeling an over arching comparison of no matter it be power you feel from love, or the power from a might castle. It all falls down.

WHEN KINGS WERE SLAIN
sorenbarrett said:
The old replaced by the new not always for the better and a destroyer of memorable places. Progress is sad in some ways. Nice write

THE VOTE

A letter from the Old Country. Thought you were from America for a while there, where something similar, i believe is going on.
Unequal societies become even more unequal.
The UK, it would appear is not the UK I knew in the \'Sixties and \'seventies.

Always a battle between man\'s greed and that of compassion in an overloaded rowboat where so many are drowning who do we take in? Some say all can be saved but with eight billion and growing on a planet with limited resources where do individual freedoms end and group rights begin? A heavy poem

HUNGER WINTER
arqios said:
A read that strikes with chilling precision: its imagery raw, its rhythm relentless. It doesn’t flinch as it unveils a grim chapter of human cruelty, echoing the bleak cold of both the season and the soul. The lines don’t just recount horror; they inhabit it, making the reader feel every footstep, every price paid.

Dark, very dark as were the times if speaking of the second world war. There were other times as well each a dark age. If not literal but a metaphor equally dark. Well written with wording that sets the mood.
