A poem that evokes feelings of freedom and recognition. There is a sense of being unconventional and childlike of innocence and unity with nature and a recognition of who one is. Well done David

Your poem radiates calm reassurance, gently echoing the truth that love persists even through sorrow and shadow. Its refrains feel like a benediction, carried by imagery that lifts the spirit: rainbows, smiling children, winds of joy. This is a hymn of grace, quiet and steady, offering comfort where it\'s most needed.🕊️🙏🏻

Waiting.
arqios said:
This beautiful poem carries the weight of disillusionment with a stark, haunting grace. It captures the ache of unanswered hope—where dreams dissolve into dust and waiting becomes a quiet kind of grief. Yet within its solemn cadence, there\'s a brave clarity: an unflinching gaze at suffering, and the courage to name it.

A bit discouraging and dark this poem takes one to the edge of reality and then pushes one over. Nicely written it gives a cold feeling of despair.

When Mrs Veil comes to the Back door.
arqios said:
There’s a distinctly local warmth in the way the back door becomes the threshold for these spectral visits; so ordinary, so intimate. And the conversational tone never wavers, even in the face of the ineffable. It’s not overwrought. It just is. Rainy afternoons, anxious pets, old grief in familiar clothes. In its softness lies its strength. It doesn’t fight the darkness—it just keeps the kettle warm for when the sun returns. 🕊️🙏🏻

Mystery, haunting, foreboding all come to mind. In Mexican culture there is the Llorona (Crying lady) a woman dressed in black that has a rich folklore history . Nicely written David

That\'s a write that makes you think, exploring in depth the nature of human morals, taking you on a journey from sexual desire and freedom to death and despair, nicely expressed and written

Emotionally draining a poem of passion from unbridled sexual desire, to despair, to murder and suicide matched with stone cold disengagement. A world where it becomes apparent that love, fairness and god are just human inventions, hollow words that build a elusive moral framework. Well written David

A very lovely write with a wonderful message, you shouldn\'t tease people especially homeless people, you have no idea the circumstances that got them there, and it could so easily be ourselves in the future, enjoyed the read

A powerful message sent in this write. Guilty set free and on the other side innocent imprisoned while victims continue to be abused. Justice is for the living. The dead no longer care. This poem is strongly emotional and leaves the reader wanting some type of resolution. Well done David

Mrs Bonnie Mae Clutter.
sorenbarrett said:
Cryptic says it well, in a world where some hold onto words like faith, hope and love as life preservers on a sea in a violent storm. This poem presents the fall of night and in its darkness the lasts glimmering light of hope is extinguished as the winds of madness and waves of chaos crash over out heads. Here we scream into the storm that there is no God. Powerful, nihilistic and gut wrenching.

A poem, raw and unforgiving; told with blunt rhythm and ghost-heavy restraint. It doesn\'t flinch, and in that, echoes the bleakest poetry of witness. You’ve woven sorrow, mental illness, murder, faith, and fatalism into a single, jagged howl that both mourns and indicts. 🕊️🙏🏻
