The Soap and the Leak
Friendship said:
Well written. Your poem explores themes of vulnerability, the difficulty of confronting one’s own truths, and the liberating power of language.

The Soap and the Leak
Thomas W Case said:
This hits like the sting of honesty you can’t ignore.
The work of writing becomes both wound and salve, and you feel every drip.

So true Gray written words hold more truth words twisted in speech latter to be denied and excused as misunderstood taken out of context. On the page there is no going back only owning up to what one put down. A great write my friend

Abandoned at the Door
Doggerel Dave said:
A tribute to all the shelters and orphanages (probably an outdated term) which help transform irresponsibility into the positive. Enjoyed for this message.

Abandoned at the Door
sorenbarrett said:
Gray this one is such a good metaphor for all orphaned and rejected the neglected and forgotten. \"Give me your tired your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breath free\" by Emma Lazarus. It seems that that door was locked and bolted long ago. Poignant this metaphor applies to all that have a heart and soul and not just to dogs. Wonderful poem Gray

sorenbarrett said:
Taking care and respecting time seems the theme of this poem. Some of that taking care is spending some quiet moments. We all need breaks. A lovely write

A powerful poem, well written. Your poem explores the significance of small, quiet moments in life that often go unnoticed but hold deep meaning and value. It suggests that while life moves forward rapidly, these seemingly insignificant experiences shape our stories and memories.

Time Machine
sorenbarrett said:
A most fanciful flight through time and space that reminds me of old sci-fi movies from the fifties and sixties. Romantic and with a frosted feel of happy ever after dreams. Lovely Gray

This strikes hard and true—gritty, remorseful, and heartbreakingly human. The imagery hits like a punch you can’t look away from.

This is a fave Gray. Some really great lines here \"a bottle my compass, no maps.\" a poignant message sent in a tense moment of the poem. Sad none the less in the injury of an animal and the question remains will it be enough to effect change. Lovely

Artifacts of Motion
Doggerel Dave said:
A rich description of a life full of experiences as depicted in the well adorned house. You have managed to give me the feeling I\'d been to tea there.
Items from a chequered life have found their way into my home, though I’m by no means so well travelled.

A most artistic picture painted in words Gray and it carries a mood but beneath it all moves shadows of metaphor as well and deep are the meanings.

Finding Spring
sorenbarrett said:
A portrait of any of us but for the grace of god. A symbol of persistence in life and acceptance of what it has given us. Not a curse but a resignation and prayer of hope for us and others. Lovely Gray
