Fried Chicken and Handcuffs
Friendship said:
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.

Fried Chicken and Handcuffs

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

More Worry Than Work
Thomas W Case said:
This holds a strong, steady clarity—almost like a meditation on something that refuses to be solved.
What works especially well is how you give worry this quiet physicality: it doesn’t need force, just presence, and that’s what makes it feel inescapable. The turn at the end lands hard too—work is external, but worry lives where thought and feeling merge, so it never really clocks out.

More Worry Than Work
sorenbarrett said:
A good message Gray that is so true in every aspect and well set to allegory. Its personification gives life to this poem. Yet if people only could understand that there is no need for worry for one has only two options do something about what you have control over or determine that there is nothing that can be done about it and it will occur or not. In such what will happen will happen and one only needs to endure.

Glow in the Throat of Chaos
sorenbarrett said:
You did well to build the tension in this poetic story. Air disaster most peoples terror. Ground bound unable to fly on our own most of us terrified of falling. You painted the picture well with great vivid images the timing was also good with the poem sensing the rush of time. Very nicely done with the sense of relief as the tension passed at the end.

Snake Head
sorenbarrett said:
A great poetic story Gray. Well told and reminded me of the past when I killed snakes it was the body I kept and the heads discarded. Took the skins at times. Once had beheaded two snakes and skinned them then buried the bodies so the dogs would not get them the next day they lay at my door step with crawl marks left in the dirt from where I had buried them.

Snake Oil
Paul Bell said:
Yes, there\'s a pill for every occasion.
One to get you up, one to take you down, one to turn you around.
I like the pill that you have to combine with another pill and another.
I\'ve never seen the placebo pill promoted mind you.

Snake Oil
sorenbarrett said:
A great poem of commercialism and pharmaceuticals of the bottom line and stock holder pressure, of doctors seduced and patients overmedicated believing that a pill can cure all. Snake oil now modernized. And in other forms too even media information called news. Then there is advertising of all merchandise. Well written Gray

Gray I have always seen death as a kind friend that in its mercy takes away pain and strife. This poem fits well that view and I love it
