ache.
sorenbarrett said:
A hard topic. The taking advantage of the helpless is a sore spot and not easily ignored. A poem that contains a sense of anger and righteous rage over exploitation of children. Nicely written

moving out
sorenbarrett said:
A home different from a house, in a home one is safe, wanted, accepted for who one is, A home is a warm place. Everyone should have a home even if it is within themselves. A great metaphor. Well done

Tender, aching lines—like a fist unclenching after years of holding.
You let hope walk in quietly, and it stays without needing permission.

I love this poem that uses so judiciously rhyme interspersed with free verse it comes through so nicely not being overpowering but interesting. The narrative is great and most positive it feels warm and inviting. A fave

pen
sorenbarrett said:
The pen is the most gratifying means of writing in my perspective and I prefer a fountain pen that is the most expressive it leaves a very personal touch to what is concrete in paper and ink. Unfortunately this is not possible if one wants many other to read your work where the internet is needed. A lovely write

A most interesting analogy and comparison between heart rates for the hummingbird and yourself. That really emphasizes the anxiety level. Nicely written

Grief can be molded and shaped, sometimes into anger, sometimes into depression, sometimes into denial, and if one is lucky into acceptance. Very nicely written.

claws
Friendship said:
I must say a very powerful poem about oneself. Well written. Your poem revolves around the exploration of emotional turmoil and the healing power of companionship, particularly through the bond with a pet, in this case, a cat. The poet reflects on their struggles with anxiety and self-harm, using imagery of claws and blood to convey pain and distress. However, this is juxtaposed with the comfort and solace found in the presence of the cat, symbolizing a shift from self-destructive tendencies to embracing love and acceptance. I am so glad your new way is working for you.đź’•

dust
Thomas W Case said:
This is intimate without being cheap—sensual built from metaphor, not skin.
The book/dust imagery is gorgeous: desire as disturbance, as awakening, as residue that stays. The turn where “dreary, boring” becomes “alluring, endearing” is especially strong—it shows transformation, not just attraction.
Best line for me: “there is no part of me / that does not bathe / in your joy.”
That’s devotion without surrendering the self. Soft, tactile, and confident—this poem knows exactly what it’s doing and never overreaches.

Such an interesting approach to intimacy dividing it into three family, romance and friends. Loved the way this is broken down. Well done

We all have dreams no matter how bad things are and with those dreams comes hope and with enough hope we progress and sprout above hardened ground. A lovely write

The parallel of the cat and its needs for affection and a person also with needs for affection stands out. A lovely metaphor. If a cat is not given affection it does not seek it from that source it looks for another. Well done

Nicely worded. Your poem explores themes of healing, self-discovery, and the journey of moving on from a past relationship. It highlights the contrast between the poet\'s past pain and their current state of growth and contentment.

The poem speaks of past injuries and bearing with them. Moderation is a key and can be delt with. There is a feeling of acceptance and a sense of chill with this poem

Friendship said:
Well written, your poem juxtaposes the physical and emotional aspects of love and sacrifice. It reflects on Christ\'s humanity—his childhood, his pain, and his ultimate sacrifice on the cross—while also celebrating the gift of life and the warmth of human connection. The poet expresses a longing for spiritual homecoming and redemption.
