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

Oratio Sensitiva.
sorenbarrett said:

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

SECLUSION
sorenbarrett said:

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

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.

Raw and powerful, loaded with emotion. This one speaks to issues of domination, abuse and pain. Hard to read,

My name is Mary Judith MaCallister.

We have five senses they say but many feel there is a sixth. If deprived of one the others grow stronger. The sixth has no name but intuition is as good as any. Faith may be a part of it. It raises the hairs on the back of the neck and often tells us what way to go. A dark sense it is a guide in life and this poem speaks to this. Most sensitive and tender a wonderful work.
