The ghost that saves.

Entrancing and mesmerizing it drifts and carries one on a journey to another place more ethereal than here. A lovely write

The CAT.
sorenbarrett said:

David this one is subtle and must be read aloud to be appreciated. The rhyme scheme itself is complex and unconventional but works so well with the message. The metaphor is deeper than surface view. It holds a philosophical meaning and emotionally can be felt with a bit of sorrow. A definite fave

Canโ€™t get over how it is common in all cultures to take advantage of whatever lends itself to such. But having said that might stray into other tributaries of discussion ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•Š

Beautifully worded the loss of a tender, beautiful soul makes the world a little poorer and the day a little darker. There was a sense of tenderness and warmth to this poem that left me sad as it ended. Any poem able to evoke such emotion has done its job. A fave

Same Sky Different Rain.
Tony Grannell said:

Oh! I\'v really enjoyed this one. To be welcomed into a night in the Simpson Desert and aboriginal folklore where, \'soft black men come together and light a fire in grief,\' is beautifully descriptive poetry as is the poem in its entirety. Just lovely. Well done indeed.

All the best,
Tony.

I love mythology and this poem paints such a cultural picture of myth and history it takes me there. A fave

The funeral of Robert Witsend.
sorenbarrett said:

A poem of a problem with no answers. Some say medication and for a few it helps a bit but I have seen the side effects from the drugs and for many it is sedation to the point of intoxication. Others that present no harm are force medicated in pharmaceutical restraints just for being different. A modern day witch hunt. A sensitive and evocative write a fave

Touched me to my heart core. Only persons with sense of self preservation end up in such tragedy and there are a few of us around. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Sharlene\'s Weekend
sorenbarrett said:

I always wondered if there was a correlation between narcissism and being oblivious. A tale of tails where class prevails. Fun read David and could be more true than not.

Well rhymed and with great flow this piece talks to me of faith and belief that gives strength. A lovely theme poetically expressed.

The SLAYING.
Tony Grannell said:

To the dark depths of man\'s depravity, harrowingly expressed as it should be. An uncomfortable read but must be read for its honesty, poetic prowess and a profound reminder of, \'the banality of evil\'. A powerful passage of poetry.

All the best,
Tony.

The SLAYING.
arqios said:

Now here\'s quite a dark, nihilistic meditation on sacrifice, betrayal, and false comfort, culminating in a chilling maternal figure who embodies both love and destruction. Scary good๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

The SLAYING.
sorenbarrett said:

This poem speaks to me of how we as humans have constructs of justice, fairness, equity, that are nonexistent in the real world and it is only in the mind that they reside. The universe as mother sharpens her knives and makes us a soft bed both at the same time. A lovely poem and a fave

Dame Ruth
Tony Grannell said:

What a beautiful eulogy for a very special lady - loaded to the brim with love and who obviously is held most dearly in your heart. May the great lady rest in peace and your memories of her in fondness forever. A heartwarming verse.

Kind regards,
Tony.

A lovely tribute in poetic style. Art takes many forms and we are always missed most after we are gone, that is if we are missed at all. Very nice David

The Tide has gone out.
sorenbarrett said:

This speaks to me of the dead and more specifically those fallen in war. It is a most sober poem that is somber as well. Most intriguing images and metaphors. Loved it

A great fable and in its meaning the mind ponders upon the purpose of life. A wonderful write that is far deeper than the surface would indicate.
