war
sorenbarrett said:
War and its devastation affect some more than others and in this poem there is a secondary cost to those that await the return of those they care about. Nicely composed with some great wording where one line is followed by another that although not a direct rhyme is a close one that fits so well.

There are many feelings that go with memories of a father past. They are voiced here and there is a nostalgia that accompanies it. Nicely said

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

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.💕

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
