GHOSTS OF WAR
sorenbarrett said:
The pointlessness of war and all the consequences it brings. A cold read. This may be taken as a metaphor and an internal war within oneself.

LOVE

It is the combination of the meter, flow and rhyme together with the message that gets the fave in this remarkable poem evoking a sense of emotional sadness over what could have and should have been. Lovely

FORGOTTEN
sorenbarrett said:
Sad and tragic a loss before the loss a death before the death. So nicely set in this poem and spiced with rhyme it tells its story of forgetfulness. A fave

DEVILS PACT
sorenbarrett said:
This one smacks of Robert Johnson the devil the crossroads and the guitar. The man that couldn\'t play and sold his soul to the devil for the gift of music. Lovely

AT THE GATES
sorenbarrett said:
This I think is one of your best. It is quite sophisticated in its wording with near rhymes barley recognizable in the background like ghosts. The meter is such that it carries one onward down a slippery slope toward the end. The message is both visually painted in a quaint literal manner and in a deeper metaphoric meaning. A most lovely write and a fave

MEN OF CLAY
sorenbarrett said:
This poem tells a story to me of the circle of emotion and how we come back to where we began as foolish as the morning we awoke to go through another day in bliss but not learning. Such is love.

A great metaphor the closing of the eye and night and its opening at dawn. Very nice word usage as well

MOONLIGHT
Cheeky Missy said:
The moon nakedly exposes the corpse\'s ghastly stare, as if to chill passersby with the notice of Death\'s presence. Macabre and frightening, it seems to inevitably point to whither the soul departed. Chillingly rendered with excellent imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

I take this to be a metaphor and a mirror. The moon the face the face the moon. Very nicely written

MANY YEARS AGO
sorenbarrett said:
I love the way you set this up with the image of the mist to begin with that represents time past to me and the dimness of memory this is emphasized in the repetitions of the phrase many years ago. It comes to me like repeating waves and reverberates like an echo from the past. A lovely write and a fave

GENOCIDE
rrodriguez said:
When I read your poem, the Holocaust came to mind. If this is the case, it was a horrible time in recent history—a stark reminder of the cruelty humans are capable of. Sadly, cruelty still exists in many corners of the world. What we need is a transformation from within, a shift toward compassion and understanding. Thank you for sharing your work; I was truly touched by the vivid imagery you conveyed. It’s a profoundly moving poem.

THE CALM BEFORE
rrodriguez said:
Suicide is such a sad way to end a life, but some people believe it is the only way out. Your poem captures the deeply emotional journey of those who have taken their own lives. We must remain vigilant and help, whenever possible, those who may be prone to such thoughts. Thank you for sharing.

ROBINS IN WINTER
rrodriguez said:
Your poem carries a somber tone, infused with sorrow, love, and longing. I read it several times. You wrote \"a parent\'s worse nightmare.\" This is one I\'d rather not have. Thank you for sharing. The poem reads well and is beautifully written. Thank you for sharing.
