Your poem explores themes of guilt, innocence, and the tragic consequences of a misunderstood situation. It reflects on the struggles of a father caught in a web of circumstances that lead to his wrongful conviction and impending execution. Well written.

This poem becomes somewhat surreal in wording as it proceeds. The message is also cryptic lending to its intrigue well done

Here in this poem is the contrast between the stark reality of brutality and nature\'s peaceful beauty. A nicely done piece David

August goes to the garden
arqios said:
Who were we before and who were we after, younglings in a larger arena? Likened to a postwar self, attempting to reconcile with a prewar world that no longer fits. What have we gained in the light of what we had to lose, more so the ones belonging to a generation that was disrupted, redirected, and psychologically damaged by war. And the postwar self, attempting to reconcile with a prewar world that no longer fits present realities. Dear me, this poem took me on a journey. 🙏🕊️🤩🌷

SECLUSION
sorenbarrett said:
Although possibly far off the intended mark the first thing that comes to mind with this wonderful poem is the psychological differences between men and women. Some may say we are all the same but viva la diference and that divide we can not cross. Understanding may help but the gap can not be jumped.

Where life is hard so are the means of dealing with it. Many have seen this over the years and yet life goes on. A poem of sad adversity and difficult choices.

The SLAYING.
sorenbarrett said:
Brutal and powerful this poem reminds me of the ignorance and stupidity of man equating sacrifice as a ritual and religious rite. It is metaphorical as well as are all physical sacrifices. It is in giving that we receive. Well written David
