Whether by death or abandonment the loss of a father figure is sad for the child and should be for the father as well. A relationship of lost opportunities. Sad

SOLITUDE
sorenbarrett said:
This poem leaves a lonely and rather desolate feeling of solitude. The wording is well chosen and it calls out to the reader. Well done

THIRTY TOO SOON
sorenbarrett said:
I remember the time when thirty seemed to be the marker of old age. Now it seems the beginning of youth after leaving childhood. Age such a relative thing, I remember my grandfather at my age and he looked so so so old. Good write

GATE

A most vivid picture of this dilapidated gate worn with time. A great metaphor how time and weather wears us all. Nicely done

When it gets real, we are able to have bookmarks to the past as reference. But no one seems to learn from mistakes of history 🙏🕊️

Here my question was how much is metaphor and how much a literal picture. It is beautiful either way. Nicely done

FORBIDDEN
Paul Bell said:
Yes, dreams must be applied for now, and the twenty-page form is a nightmare to fill in.
Reminiscence must be kept in your head till further notice.
Something great about ship horns in the night.

This one has a vivid image and one all too real. I have wondered how a poet can function now days without the internet to post. When first coming to this site there was a poet that I read that said they were basically that and that they were loosing access to the internet they would be posting no more. Always wondered what happened to them. Good write a fave

LEST WE FORGET
sorenbarrett said:
Sad and haunting a poem of loss and emptiness in hearts where need resides. Well written in good rhyme and meter it calls out from the mouths of the surviving to the grave of the missing. Well done.

TOWERS FALL
sorenbarrett said:
A great write about greed, capitalism, division of the classes using the metaphor of a building. Nicely written in poetic form it proceeds brick by brick falling to its demolished end and powerful meaning. Lovely a fave

A poem of surreal romanticism that flows with good meter and rhyme. It leaves a dream like feel.

CHILDREN OF MORTALITY

Such a heavy poem set in dramatic style it speaks as if out of Hades and rows with Charon\'s oars. A strong and powerful write.

MORNING
sorenbarrett said:
Presented as a ritual each line reinforces this feeling of a cyclical repetition of actions in a never ending daily ritual like numbers on a clock face revisited regularly telling one where one is at during the day. Nice

FREE SPEECH
sorenbarrett said:
Ah yes free speech to one is blasphemy to another. To one expression to another sedition. But then how far does it extend, knowingly defaming another? Shouting fire in a crowded auditorium? False acidization\'s? Fake news? A very deep thought that I have no answers for. A lovely write
