Staying silent
sorenbarrett said:

Silence the verbal hiding that is option to prey under attack. Run fight or freeze as an attempt to disguise oneself. Here freezing in speech is that hiding. A lovely write.

Pay up
sorenbarrett said:

And so it is. We all have different gods and each is believed to be stronger and better than others. How many wars over this. A wonderful write

Never forgotten
sorenbarrett said:

A tender poem of missing that special someone that gave us birth and nurtured us through trial and growth. Well done and heart felt

Thoughts of seams
sorenbarrett said:

A poem of lost love that is not understood. The love itself misunderstood and the falling apart hard to accept. Heart breaking. Nicely written

Past messages
sorenbarrett said:

This brought to mind the Kabalistic view of the angel\'s alphabet where it is believed that the answers to all questions and history lies in the stars and that one that understands it can read all knowledge. A fun read

Imagination a powerful and wonderful tool. Very nicely done

Where the mind is
Demar Desu said:

Like a puppy having to train the mind to sit still and enjoy where we are….but now I ask myself How did I get in this trash can?


This is a great poem I love it…

Confession
Demar Desu said:

The plea at the end gave me chills

Confession
sorenbarrett said:

A beautiful and gentle expression of growing fondness and love for another. Nicely expressed in tender almost shy poetic words

August 16th, 2025 08:39

sorenbarrett said:

I love the conversive nature of this poem as it gos on to describe the pain and confusion then simply asks (and how are you) that feel makes it a fave

3 different ones
sorenbarrett said:

Three poems in logical succession that tell a story of pain and loss of fading memories and trauma. This poem speaks from the shadows. Heartfelt and sad it calls out in whispers and cries.

What to paint
sorenbarrett said:

A most thoughtful poem that poses the question of would another\'s painting of themself help one understand better than the picture one paints in their own mind. Very nicely done

It\'s drying
sorenbarrett said:

A question with only the answer because. It leaves the reader asking what is frozen to dry. It has a ring to the rhyme that comes around and around as if frozen in the air. Nice

Manifested view
sorenbarrett said:

Too many people fit this description nicely worded in verse and rhyme. A fun read that needs to be said

Watching you
Bella Shepard said:

I love the suspense. Constant vigilance required in an age of, as some like to say, alternative facts, who to believe? Great write!!

August 10th, 2025 09:38

Watching you
sorenbarrett said:

Parent, lover or God. A most poetic write. Nicely written

For me & They\'re mine
sorenbarrett said:

Two poems of very different natures, the first of turmoil and destruction, a desire for the world to end the second of ownership and a desire for a private space. Maybe under it all is a need for solitude and personal space. Lovely

A brain dump: Yours to kill
sorenbarrett said:

Self sacrifice the ultimate redemption for the giver and the other. Set in myth as well as religion. The offering accepted by the gods as worthy of redemption and a love offering. Well penned

August 8th, 2025 07:03

The survivor
sorenbarrett said:

A poem that can be taken more than one way. in its clearest form it seems that saying of a child but could be the metaphoric sexual position of a teen, or the defensive statement of an adult against verbal attack. Well done

August 7th, 2025 05:12

You\'re like them
sorenbarrett said:

A powerful poem of relationships. There is not going back to the beginning. The do fade with time. A rather sad poem but well said

August 6th, 2025 05:21

Movement, send
sorenbarrett said:

This seems to speak to fear, panic and nightmares and facing them as a way of defeating them. Nicely written

Whispering Thoughts
sorenbarrett said:

This poem speaks softly and in its quiet and reverence wisdom distills.

Cutting
Bella Shepard said:

The repetition of lines sounds a mantra, culminationg in an affirmation. Very well done!

Cutting
sorenbarrett said:

Clever and deep in meaning. The repetition makes its point and the final stanza cements it in place with a splendid metaphor.

If it works
sorenbarrett said:

A poem I feel and for that a fave, furthermore some crafty wording and smooth metering make this a wonderful poem that has this worn homespun feel to it. One of my favorite of yours

She screams in dreams
sorenbarrett said:

Most interesting the desire for one to be afraid so as to be needed and wanted. A poem of desire and of passions fire.
