Should be put in every politician\'s inbox.
Sadly some people think their voice actually makes a difference, but in reality we know different.

Silence can be far more powerful than noise. Often it is the space between words that makes the most powerful statement, Well said Gray

The Mischievous Shart
Friendship said:
Well written, your poem revolves around the comedic aspects of bodily functions, specifically sharting, which combines farting with an accidental release of more. It presents this experience whimsically, making it relatable and entertaining.

Dogs Bark at What They Don\'t Understand
Friendship said:
Well worded. Your poem explores the notion of fear and misunderstanding in the face of the unknown. It draws a parallel between the instinctual reactions of dogs barking at what they do not comprehend—and human responses to the complexities of life, particularly in matters of love, loss, and silence.

Despite the Ache
Friendship said:
Well written, your story revolves around the complexity of human emotions, particularly the struggle to express grief and pain while maintaining a facade of functionality and strength. The poet delves into the cultural and familial conditioning that discourages open emotional expression, highlighting the tension between feeling deeply and adhering to societal expectations of resilience and productivity.

I was there and learned all the rules of feeling the pain but not showing it. Alas time has past and these rules have been changed mid game. Now there is a new referee in town and the game is fixed. Loved the poem with such vivid and great lines that feel so real and home. Well done Gray and a fave

Friendship said:
Well written, gray0328. Your poem revolves around the appreciation of what one already possesses, rather than succumbing to a perpetual desire for newer, better things. The subject matter explores themes of contentment, nostalgia, and the value of simple, everyday objects that hold emotional significance and memories.

sorenbarrett said:
In a lazy world of disposable items where things are no longer fixed but replace and even relationships are throw aways this piece may be hard to understand but I hear it and remember those days when mending things was a necessary art and the mended took on more value than the new. I love the line \"Fixing carried fingerprints of your effort. \" This has deep meaning for me. Very nicely done Gray
