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.

We are the source of our own fears created out of imagination. A fun poem that makes paranoia out of expectations. Nicely done David

Amusing and being old myself identifiable. It calls out to the aging process and annoyances that go with it. A fun read that made me smile.

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

This poem has a powerful message that hides behind the beauty of a flower. It is a deep work on the power of death set in most poetic terms and a fave

Moving and most romantic in the purist way this poem Eulogizes a lost angel in form of flesh. So nicely written in good poetic form. I am lost as to the actual personage if there is such but it speaks to the heart and is a fave

Obsession.
sorenbarrett said:
This poem takes elements of nature\'s beauty and turns them on their head seeing stars as scars in the sky, talons of night and claws of darkness. It becomes a threatening and savage world. Well written David

This one seems rather enigmatic but I take it to be toward peace and our choice to enact it. Very poetically written in metaphor

A nice read. Your poem revolves around the transformative power of love and how it can create new meanings and experiences. The imagery of the \"ambermelon\" symbolizes a unique bond between two lovers

There are colors that only those in love see, like rose colored glasses they paint the world and all in it with a newness never seen before. A good read David

BETRAYAL.

Self betrayal the worst of all. A lack of strength in body or mind maybe a weak spirit. A powerful poem that cries out for revelation. Well worded David

Your poem reflects on the relationship between fishermen and their catch, symbolizing humanity\'s insatiable desire for more—whether it be wealth, resources, or power—at the expense of nature and life.
