Mourgana of the Fey said:
This poem is skillfully told and written, much tender trails among these lines. Such is a quest for love be it human love companionship or otherly love even divine love. In a certain way I felt that you made a version of Rumi poems but then an original concept from your own personal perspective and artistic view
Truly enjoyed this beautiful soulful piece, ty for sharing!

At times the fourth table can be the barest of all but on certain times and moments it can be the fullest as well. Just realising it is similar with all the other tables. haha... makes me feel delusional sometimes. 🕊️🙏🏻

I am glad you have your health after sitting at the first three tables. A life begun in fear is a difficult one. Well written

\"At sunset, when night crawls to the edge of the nest.\" - hard to forget. Something beautiful yet somber pervades each line. Something which promises to be less than fleeting

Entrancing and mesmerizing it drifts and carries one on a journey to another place more ethereal than here. A lovely write

David this one is subtle and must be read aloud to be appreciated. The rhyme scheme itself is complex and unconventional but works so well with the message. The metaphor is deeper than surface view. It holds a philosophical meaning and emotionally can be felt with a bit of sorrow. A definite fave

Can’t get over how it is common in all cultures to take advantage of whatever lends itself to such. But having said that might stray into other tributaries of discussion 🙏🏻🕊

Beautifully worded the loss of a tender, beautiful soul makes the world a little poorer and the day a little darker. There was a sense of tenderness and warmth to this poem that left me sad as it ended. Any poem able to evoke such emotion has done its job. A fave

Tony Grannell said:
Oh! I\'v really enjoyed this one. To be welcomed into a night in the Simpson Desert and aboriginal folklore where, \'soft black men come together and light a fire in grief,\' is beautifully descriptive poetry as is the poem in its entirety. Just lovely. Well done indeed.
All the best,
Tony.

The funeral of Robert Witsend.
sorenbarrett said:
A poem of a problem with no answers. Some say medication and for a few it helps a bit but I have seen the side effects from the drugs and for many it is sedation to the point of intoxication. Others that present no harm are force medicated in pharmaceutical restraints just for being different. A modern day witch hunt. A sensitive and evocative write a fave

Sharlene\'s Weekend

I always wondered if there was a correlation between narcissism and being oblivious. A tale of tails where class prevails. Fun read David and could be more true than not.

Well rhymed and with great flow this piece talks to me of faith and belief that gives strength. A lovely theme poetically expressed.

The SLAYING.
Tony Grannell said:
To the dark depths of man\'s depravity, harrowingly expressed as it should be. An uncomfortable read but must be read for its honesty, poetic prowess and a profound reminder of, \'the banality of evil\'. A powerful passage of poetry.
All the best,
Tony.

Now here\'s quite a dark, nihilistic meditation on sacrifice, betrayal, and false comfort, culminating in a chilling maternal figure who embodies both love and destruction. Scary good🙏🏻🕊️
