Certainty is the Enemy of Growth
sorenbarrett said:
Gray this is a wonderful analogy of men where society as well as the mind is the cage. We were born to be free yet the bars of civilization and what is called reason imprison us. Very nicely done and a fave my friend.

Conviction
sorenbarrett said:
This is simply lovely in the truth that unfolds in the analogy. Your imagery is outstanding in this one Gray it is so identifiable and it itself grows roots as one reads it. Your use of natural items makes it feel so grounded and down to earth. It is soft and develops slowly from a loud start. I is like a scent on the wind that can be followed and beckons one toward it. This is one of my favorite of yours

Cast Iron
sorenbarrett said:
I love this metaphor Gray. I love cast iron cooking but the clean up not so much it requires work and care to have a clean tool for the next meal. A lovely poem my friend.

Junk Drawer
sorenbarrett said:
It is the meaning itself that is poetic in this piece. Nostalgic is the word that comes to mind but there is more in Portuguese saudade fits better but still misses a bit and it is that bit that makes it poetically great.

Grandma\'s Recipes
sorenbarrett said:
Old recipes like sepia photos have a feel to them and are never as accurate as we would think yet if we knew they never were accurate at all varying from one making to another as grandma a cook of experience never really measured it was a handful of this a pinch of that and all from memory each batch having its own signature. Lovely

Yellow Walls
sorenbarrett said:
Purely poetic. I\'m sure there are many interpretations of this one but if felt so old folk to me a type of dementia of an old folk home where little is noticed and false feelings of the past still remain and every day is sunny lost in dreams of the past.

Beneath a Blood Moon
sorenbarrett said:
An ominous write Gray that seems to portend unsettling times. It is dark and holds a feeling of tension. Nicely written it speaks to a person\'s nerve. Well done

Where the Chewed Toys Lead

Between Asking and Knowing
Gelyn said:
Such a beautiful reflection on the two paths of connecting with the Divine. Prayer gives voice to the longings of the soul, while meditation teaches the heart to listen beyond words. One reaches out in faith, the other embraces the silence. Both remind us that sometimes we find answers not only in what we ask, but also in the stillness where we learn to listen. Truly profound and soul stirring...

Real and metaphoric what risks we face each day and little knowing whether we will escape or not so we pray.

Unfiltered Confession
sorenbarrett said:
Reading this I thought of the movie African Queen when Humphry Bogart\'s character sits for proper tea and his stomach starts to uncontrollably rumble. Funny but too improper to laugh. He did what I would do addressed it directly as opposed to try to hide it. Nice write Gray

Quiet Rustling

It is the thought so beautifully expressed in metaphor that gets the fave Gray. The poem itself is quiet and surrendering its meaning settling like the leaves.
