A Skosh
J.Allen Tompkins said:
Hello! This is the first poem I\'ve looked at being new to the site, but this line: \"But I’ve seen pinkie promises hold entire universes between two fingers. \" , stood out for me as such a combination of innocence and existential energies...excellent work there! I was also impressed with how far you stretched the rhyme within the prose-- it almost came as a surprise.

Well Gray I have to say I have used it before many times. I wish that they sold a formula for people that are rusted in their ways. Nicely written

The birth of scepticism in a young child - a landmark growth point!!
Certainly was for me. Thanks for the reminder.

The Year Santa Wore Mr. Bruno\'s Boots
sorenbarrett said:
When a child and taken to sit on Santa\'s lap at the store I would ask why he was different every year and why other stores had different Santas and was told the same story that some were Santa\'s helpers. Never believed it and so the myth fell. A great write Gray loved it

Another Form of Abuse
Doggerel Dave said:
\"calls it cleansing care\' \'care\' as real help in time of need, yes; \'care\' meaning pity no! You have that right in spades.
Words well rehearsed, actions nowhere to be seen.
Sorry - incoherently approving here (in case there\'s any doubt..)

The Proof of Mistakes

I loved the wording of this surreal poem that dives deep into the psyche spreading its existential wings

So here we are, facing our storms—
not weaker, no, just differently tested
Beautiful lines!!!

Blended with mythology this poem speaks of reality and to what anchor we choose to tie. A lovely poem Gray full of wisdom and advice. A fave

Glass Gloves
sorenbarrett said:
Clothed in fragile transparency this poem\'s meaning remains obscure. I can not imagine the difficulty of using glass gloves inflexible and slippery as well. The threat of cutting oneself should breakage occur. Nicely written Gray

Wanting More
NinjaGirl said:
This is so interesting it really makes me think. Especially the last line: \"It\'s the reaching that makes us alive.\" I think maybe that\'s why people continue to scroll on their phones, hoping to find more and more of what was promised, or why the drinker gets drunk again, it\'s not being drunk that they enjoy but the promise of not having to think anymore. Well done!

Electronic babel and an infinite appetite for this.. Infinite stupidity along the way. I always enjoy a good dose of reality - many thanks.

A most interesting write Gray that seems digital in so ways speaking of pixels and screens. I seems to relate to communication of information and its electronic component. Nicely done Gray

This can be taken more than one way Gray. The first way I took it was age and its ravages. Time can be a cruel master. A poem well written.

Big Black Trash Bags
Paul Bell said:
It seems like even though the trash is in the bag, it refuses to go in the bin.
We all seem to carry those black bags of trash that find themselves back in the house like an unwanted guest.

Wow! This one is a visible verbal vestige violating vintage vermin. Don\'t know where that one came from but those black trash bags cast an image of a trass heap or land fill. So much trash of a life goes in those bags Gray. Loved the poem

\"wars begin long before words\" what a profound statement that rings so true and echoes in the mind long after the poem is read. Well said Gray
