Enjoy your writing. Your poem explores the interplay between overwhelming feelings and the sense of powerlessness that can accompany such deep emotional experiences.

Drool and Drive
sorenbarrett said:
Once again you have captured the essence of poetry in your images. I love dogs and have had a few, each a special pleasure. Each has been a drooler but loved them just the same. A lovely poem that does not really personify the dog but makes his qualities admirable. A fave my friend

Well written. Your poem invites a meditative and contemplative response, prompting readers to consider their relationship with their own emotions and experiences, akin to the ever-changing and boundary-less nature of water.

The Glass Calls My Name
Friendship said:
Well written. Your poem revolves around the struggle with addiction, specifically to alcohol, and the complex relationship between desire, pain, and self-destruction. The poet expresses both a yearning for relief and a recognition of the harm that drinking causes.

Although it could be metaphoric it seems clearly alcohol that is intended in this write. Nicely written a poem of addiction.

Outposts in My Head
Thomas W Case said:
This has a heavy, internal gravity—like the conflict is happening in a space no one else can quite enter, but everyone recognizes in some form.
What stands out is how you frame the mind as both territory and trespasser—something that builds its own defenses, then refuses to leave them. That idea of “squatter thoughts” is especially strong: it makes the struggle feel lived-in, persistent, hard to evict.

Well written. Your poem explores themes of survival, societal expectations, and the instinctual nature of humans when faced with scarcity and competition, prompting readers to reflect on the complexities of human behavior in social settings.

Gray you have taken the serious and the amusing and pitted them against each other in battle. A metaphor on one hand and reality that I have seen on the other. A joke turned philosophical a social commentary not on food alone but upon entitlement and greed upon human nature. Well written and a fave my friend
