A very touching story and cleverly crafted, that is a very caring and sensitive, who can see the struggles of her daughter and in her own way, trying to lighten them, wonderful write

We all have our own way of seeing things that often distorts what others are trying to say. It seems that mom loves to soften things and all problems seen through rose colored glasses look better. Not having to face problems is to not have them and better yet when they are not seen or thought of. Nicely done David

This is such a bittersweet portrayal of love lost, the search for connection, and the sometimes-frustrating ways people respond to sadness—with humour, avoidance, or resignation. 🕊️🙏🏻

Seeing God

For me an interesting write, as each person will see god in different ways and it will mean different things, made me have a think, nicely done

I liked this one David in its openness it leaves to the reader the meaning of what God is or what seeing him/her means. It flows well and has rhyme though simple carries it along very nicely

Salute
sorenbarrett said:
The first thing that I noticed David was the form of the poem that seems to be a snifter to propose a toast with. The poem is a salute to those with courage. I with you salute and stand in awe of those with courage. And here my thoughts ramble off in many directions at the different types of courage that exist. Loved this poem David

My Empty House.
sorenbarrett said:
Haunting. I have a house that has had several owners over the past 75 years and I have researched the story of each. The ghosts of the house feel so much more friendly that way and I hear them from time to time or at least so my ears and brain tell me. Lovely tale

This is a moving reflection on the impact of war, showing the innocence lost and the pain felt by those affected. Well done!

Powerful and a bomb itself, exploding our myopic view of who is right and wrong in conflict and how it is the innocent that suffer. Lovely David

A haunting and emotional piece — it captures the pain of facing reality in a very raw and poetic way. Well written!!!

The Truth
sorenbarrett said:
In that ignorance is bliss is it not far kinder to keep mankind in the dark? A wonderful poem with such a heavy subject to ponder. Nicely worded with rhyme and good flow it poses that age old question of truth and the dark side of it which is pain and lack of purpose. Loved it David a fave

As one who has always preferred the truth however much it might hurt, I enjoyed this read as it covers all sides of the truth. It can be good but equally damaging if delivered in the wrong way, nicely crafted write

Truth used to scare me.. it carried so much presence and responsibility.. white lies were more chummy and took the path of least resistance. 🕊️🙏🏻

I can hear defiance and anger at a god that is deaf and blind a god that lacks empathy and plays with us as toys left unattended and discarded when bored. A capricious god of whims and fancies. Well written David

What a write, absolutely wonderfully written, would be interesting to see if there is a god, how he would respond to that, would be incredibly hard for him to defend. One to read more than once, very enjoyable read

This reminds me of the song (Daybreak by Han Hong) about such an accident in China where a young child was pulled from the outstretched arms of his dying parents and adopted by the song writer. A very moving poem and song. Another story poem with interpersonal meaning. Lovely
