Used to as a child dream of flying in lucid dreams. Haven\'t had one of those in a long time but this poem reminded me of that. Liberating was the feeling I got from this poem. Most lovely

Wow! Now there’s a resolution afoot just waiting to be found. Kind of curious about the next “chapter-episode-sequel” to this.

The Day I became My Mother.
sorenbarrett said:
Both carefully concealed and in your face this poem presents the two sides of the issue. How tolerant is too tolerant and how intolerant is too intolerant where do we draw the line? A great thought provoking write.

How words of parents are clearly remembered, even thou at the time they probably thought no one was listen. An underlying message of we have to try to make the most off what we have. Enjoyed the read.

The House of the Dog
Cassie58 said:
A fun write. In my home, the cat rules. The dog is terrified of her and the dog is three times the size of that little madam:)
They tolerate each other, from a very wide distance. No physical fights yet. I appreciated the metaphor here as well:) Happy new year David.

sorenbarrett said:
Loved the last line. Like Daniel in the lion\'s den. Had a dog and cat that were best friends and the dog would defend the cat from other dogs. Another cat my dog liked so much it groomed the pants off the cat licking all the fur off the lower half of the cat so in embarrassment (in bare ass ment) the cat moved down the street to the neighbors. A most fun but also metaphoric write David.

I guess in this day and age we should be very careful in this modern world, as there are danger every where, even if you are a graceful cat, really enjoyed the read.

Oh my… “a place of poor dreaming” my deer in spotlight moment here in this poem. I must have feline sensibilities to be treading in such a domicile! How much more careful does a cat need to be!?

Different points of view lead to different moods and actions. A most poetic projection of our personal prejudices. So nicely written. A Happy New Year

A interesting read as always, i guess what is perfection is up to what some one believes is perfection, myself i am not sure if there is such a thing and if there was if i would enjoy it. A very enjoyable read. Happy New Year to you and all.

From an ex-perfectionist\'s point of view, the idea of perfection makes my skin crawl and the feelings come from both extreme sides of the pendulum. These days I tend to prefer subtlety over all else. A very engaging read. Happy New Year DWa 🥳🎉

As mirrors in circuses and fun houses, the refraction here is akin to political satire but leaning on the moral-ethical-spiritual realm. Good show DWa. Where have you had this tucked away!?

I am assuming and hoping this is written with a large dose of sarcasm regarding the different morale high grounds that people take and use, to justify their actions, Interesting read

Reminiscent of Mark Twains war prayer this work shines with sarcasm and in its irony highlights the disparity between two polar views on moral issues. It is in the absurd that we can often see the truth. A poignant write

Imagine a world where this juxtaposition of what we know was ubiquitous. Once again my friend you have unearthed unique processes of reason within my stodgy pillars of conformity it says so much. And it’s commentary is acerbically brilliant
