The Black Cat that crossed my path.
Cassie58 said:

The repetition works so well here in this lyrical write. The content is sad and betrayal is nothing but absolute heartbreak. Nicely composed David.

This sounds like a dark song that speaks of betrayal and loss. Sad and tragic. A ballad perhaps

I was the guy who didn\'t understand Russian Roulette. I loaded the gun with bullets EXCEPT for one chamber. Doh! lol.
Argh! We have a black cat and a tabby cat, so our black cat crosses my path often!

I was not aware of this before this read, must of been extremely disturbed by the violence to end his life in such a painful and violent way, hope he rests in some kind of peace, enjoyed the read

Buddhism  Burning.
sorenbarrett said:

I remember well that act. It has become iconic and stands as an image of protest in its irony of violence against violence fighting fire with fire. A wonderful write of an act not to be forgotten.

Cassie58 said:

Such an act of violence against himself and yet Buddhists are peace loving and non violent. His mind must have been in turmoil. I hope he has found his peace. Finely penned David. Quite a thought provoking write. Have a good Tuesday. .

An interesting if slightly dark read, which read nicely throughout the write, enjoyed the read

Rose Williams and the fragile heart.
sorenbarrett said:

Well done unlike a bull in a china shop it seems that there was no glass broken in that menagerie. This one really took on the character. It has been so many years since I read that play.

I felt such undertones of darkness and the current flowed. Perhaps the last line bringing it all together. 🙏🏻🕊

The Rules of The Insanity of Love.
Poetic Licence said:

The good and bad side of emotion walking hand in hand, enjoyed the read

The Rules of The Insanity of Love.
sorenbarrett said:

They say there is balance in all things and the amount of love for someone is balanced by an equal amount of hate or anger. Those that say they never fight are those with no passion in their relationship. There can not be good without evil. A sad and dark story where love and betrayal are balanced with revenge. Nicely done.

That is a very entertaining read and that has probably happened somewhere, enjoyed

Puppa goes on a Yacht.
sorenbarrett said:

A fun read that seems a simple story for children but I always see more. Are dogs that much different than us? Do they fantasize? I know they dream, the do pretend, and yes even have a sense of humor. Is it just our arrogance that keeps them at our feet and not at our side? A most fun read.

The Last Iceberg.
Poetic Licence said:

I got the sense of the destruction of our planet, and the habits are wonderful wildlife live in, the polar bear ended up homeless, probably way off track, still enjoyed a well written write

arqios said:

Love the sci-fi feel of this… but it also felt so real! 🙏🏻🕊

The Last Iceberg.
sorenbarrett said:

Both a poem of awareness and a symbolic poem of parting with the past. There is sadness in it either way. Accepting change is difficult and seen as threatening. This poem represents well these feelings. A fanciful read or maybe not.

A sad deterioration of the mind evidenced so creatively in the obvious breakdown in the poem itself. Very nicely done David a fave for creativity in this one.
