What a horrible creepy feeling that accompanies reading this. Like being violated in other ways as well. Powerful exposé. 🕊

The let downs and recriminations… betrayals and breaking of trust… quite the moving poem!

What a great metaphor for the evolution of man and his development of fire, religion, art, technology, and existential search. Well done in verse

Obsession.
arqios said:
This poem evidences a masterfully delving into the themes of vanity, desperation, greed, and the struggle for authenticity. It uses vivid imagery and powerful metaphors to convey the emptiness and regret that come from living a life obsessed with superficial pursuits. 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻

This is a most beautifully worded deep write on the need for humanity to come of age and put asside its childhood toys and beliefs. Masterfully done and deserving of a Fave

Inspired! The abrupt return to reality with the reminder of Adrian\'s 12-hour shift serves as a grounding moment. It underscores the poem\'s blend of divine wisdom and everyday struggles, highlighting the coexistence of the sacred and the mundane in our lives. Finally a piece that rivals Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol!” Liked and Faved!

Eyes of Glass, Hearts of Stone
sorenbarrett said:
It takes a different kind of mind to understand ugliness, pain, destruction, to have eyes to see in the dark. Another difficult read that is highly emotional and that is the primary element in an artistic poem

We all have the capacity for good, and evil. Some take both to extremes. England seems to have their fare share.

This poem is a melding of the old and the new. Not only an old god and a new god but a more classical old form of poetry and a more modern form. I like the Latin ending to this piece

Wow! I think David that this is one of your most beautiful poems. It is loaded with great line after great line and has a beckoning yet haunting feeling to what seems a sciren song. In its cryptic lines a prophetic voice speaks. Simply lovely

For me a minion i have found this quite a complex read about the difficulties forming and between relationships, and at any given time they can deliver hope or despair, maybe sometimes both. I am sure there is much more to this piece than i have so far worked out, and i will read again with a fresh head. Another really enjoyable head scratching read.

Bathed in metaphor this poem to me speaks of dualities and difficulty of union between people, relationships, hope and despair. It is cast in complexity just as the issues themselves are complex. This is a deep dive in murky water. Very nicely worded

Abbie talks to a stranger at the beach.

Children suffer as the result of divorce. So many relationships breakdown and at the forefront the children should ALWAYS be put first. Their welfare is paramount and children need both parents, unless there has been abuse. This poem was haunting in its content. The child loses out because of a bitter mother. Sad write David.
