Seems About a Hundred Years Ago

Sometimes coincidence is just too much to understand. My poem today seems eerily related to this one. Creepy, not this poem the connection. This poem definitely caught my attention. Very nicely written

Now to me this is an allegory of the right and the left that don\'t consider themselves part of the same nation or world. Well written

Seductions of Identification

Sounds like a marketing ploy and technology to some processed food. This may apply as a metaphor for many other things as well. Scary thought

Who is I am Addicted?
Tristan Robert Lange said:

I\'ll answer that question if you tell me where I Am Insane went, he took my pencil to sharpen his computer. 🤣🤷‍♂️

Now, that silliness aside. This is a profoundly important piece, my friend. It gets to the heart of something vitally important to me...labels and the negative effect they can have. Who is \"I Am Addicted\"? Who is \"I Am Overweight?\" This could be asked of so many different things and...the question becomes, are these labels helpful or harmful? Your poem gets into that and, I think, acknowledges that, indeed, there is something their to the label, and that \"something\" is affecting someone and stealing their light. Indeed. But label itself can go both ways and lock people away from light that was never stolen to begin with. So, not sure if I am close or now spiraling through the Outer Rim in hyperspace...but your poem (all 9 lines of it) got me thinking about all of this. Fantastic write, my friend!

One never knows what to believe now days and this poem seems to reinforce that feeling. Well said

I like how this one feels like a cosmic riddle: Phoenix, Pyramid, and then suddenly the whole galaxy. It’s like the poem starts small and personal (“grabbed me by the ears”) and then zooms out to the biggest question of all: who’s actually turning the gears of existence? Short, sharp, and it leaves you hanging in that wonder. 🕊️🙏

Mutley, this is wild brilliance…the dragon as both myth and metaphor for self-destruction. You twist humor and despair together so sharply it sings. Very well done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

I guess dragons are not that much different than people, too bad for dragons. A fun poem of metaphor and fantasy well done.

Mutley, this one crackles with that trademark mischief of yours…heat, humor, and a touch of the surreal. Short, sharp, and perfectly unhinged. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

This poem feels like a pressure cooker! It\'s volcanic imagery and clipped lines really capture that sense of restless buildup. The sudden shift into the stoned voice makes it raw and unsettled, like a fragment of life overheard mid‑eruption. 🕊️🙏
