SHATTERED GLASS
sorenbarrett said:
A most picturesque poem of the sea and its battering a rock wall. Very nicely imaged and although not clearly evident a possible metaphor as well

WHEN TOWERS FELL
Vipassana said:
Towers will continue to fall, soon many will tumble.
Especially like this line
An ashtray
Which overflowed
Half cigarettes
Like stubbed toes

WHEN THE SOLDIERS CAME
RSM0812 said:
I love the write but disagree with the ending a bit. War and death as escalation goes, so will death and killing. Sometimes the only species on earth to invent and practice war needs a break. Hopefully sooner then later. The imagery was really well written and the rhyme scheme was perfect as always. Keep writoling.

THE DESERTED BOY
sorenbarrett said:
Heart breaking this hits hard a very emotional write. Sad and all too prevalent, it also happens when mothers take their children and fly to another state and undisclosed destinations. It is the child that suffers. Well written a fave

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.
