The Webbed Embrace

A great write Gray. No we are not that much different than our ancestors before the fire worshiping its warmth and us before the screen bowed in adoration of its information and entertainment. Nicely done

The Pet Rock
Cheeky Missy said:
Dang! But I used to dearly cherish those smooth rocks, the odd ones, the strangely coloured ones, etc. No secrets of mine were shared with the dead things, but they were certainly lovely and too charming. That aside, this is a pretty number, beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a sweet poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

A lump the size of Hope! I will forever now see the rocks with messages and the small bits of tactile stress reliever stone differently after reading your poem! I do have a few rocks painted with love from my children on a shelf. Perhaps I should take a moment to hold them closer!

Motherless Day
Cheeky Missy said:
Wow, it\'s my 9th. Ten years ago was my mother\'s last mother\'s day, and I miss her more than ever this year. Gorgeously rendered with superb imagery and a painful poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

This made me pause and think deeply for a minute; so many metaphors and similes packed into here. A fave

( The answer has always been moving) what a great line and finish to this poem. A lovely write Gray with a wonderful meaning that is subtle but there.

My Love is a Cartoon Owl
Poetic Licence said:
I know this could be interpreted in other ways, but I like literally as off the owl. A wonderful creature appears full of wisdom, doesn\'t miss a trick, graceful and have a majestic look to them, enjoyed the read

sorenbarrett said:
A wonderful image. (I love owls and often sit on my patio and call them. I have had as many as five screech owls come sit with me on the backs of my chairs and stare at me) A great poem using the image of wisdom, insight, mystery and spiritual connection. A very nice write Gray

Flags Are Always in Demand

Why do you make me nearly break down in a flood of tears with this? Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting, ringing poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Some great lines here Gray. The flag a symbol now used as a secondary symbol in this poem. This double layering makes for quite a cake. It is like a second lens double magnifying what lays beneath it. Very nicely done Gray

Double Exposure
sorenbarrett said:
A most interesting poem Gray with great metaphor of the mirror and splitting. Since the face is not symmetrical I wonder how this affects things in the split. Loved the read

The Machine Prays in Binary

We have enslaved ourselves to the information age it sells us our chains then makes us grateful for illusions of freedom that it sells us. Very nice Gray

The Ease of Small Hands
sorenbarrett said:
A poem open to interpretation could be a young woman but for me it is a small girl, innocent and full of life before it is dulled with years. So nicely written. Loved it

When You Read to a Child
sorenbarrett said:
The whole world is a book that opens to us. We are all children that if we open our eyes to the wonder around us are transported to new vistas. A lovely write

A most vivid description of demise and decay a melodious metaphor so artistically carved of words and served to the reader as aperitif, main course, and dessert a fave

Half Empty
Doggerel Dave said:
You are in all probability dead right. however, when all is going smoothly, when warm and cooperative interactions are the norm, why should I not call out aberrations to what I know to be possible?
Way back when you used the glass half full/empty to dismiss what may have been a facile comment on my part, left me without the inclination to respond again. And not many do, apart from ever present Soren, who keeps this site energised with ever present affirmations. You obviously don\'t care for interactions here - otherwise you would play the game. A pity, because you deserve a wider audience.
