The iron run
sorenbarrett said:

I have to say that this one puzzled me I had visions of a man with a nine iron chasing down the hill. I guess it could be iron man but I haven\'t followed the comics too much. Very interesting

Wet pillow
sorenbarrett said:

A metaphor and also in reverse. I love to sleep to the sound of the rain and many say that they cry themselves to sleep. Is sleep a defense against pain or threat well written

The rain
Bella Shepard said:

Your graphic description conjures memories of my youth, when I loved to pop open an umbrella and take long walks in the rain. Each line creates a blissful experience, beautifully and lovingly written.

The rain
sorenbarrett said:

A beautiful pouring of words that fall like the rain. Each drop and word forming pools and rivulets to the next following the stream of consciousness. Nicely done

Salted
sorenbarrett said:

I feel that this journey is a metaphor for life itself and the cracks we suffer during the journey taking on water and the question of whether we will reach our destination. A lovely write

Share the light
sorenbarrett said:

Words with meaning but a meaning that one can not comprehend entirely all at once. It speaks in the rhyme of a riddle to be understood with time. Lovely

Fallen dream
sorenbarrett said:

When we speak of fallen angels we think of someone that was doing right and then did something wrong. This poem metaphorically speaks of this fall and the anguish that goes with it. Nicely done

Brain dump # 391
sorenbarrett said:

They do all have an association with each other outside of the rhyme and near rhyme at the end of the line in an ABAB pattern. The first word a measure of the second a defining element. Well done

My fault
Doggerel Dave said:

It was fair warning, after all.
Good, short to the point write.

Winter thoughts

Beautiful images painted in this poem of the onset of winter and its onset. Although this appears literal it may be metaphorical as well regarding age. Nicely done

Where I wait

Hiding view
sorenbarrett said:

Powerful an assertion of self image as evil and bad but I hear anger and defiance as well. Well penned

Footsteps
sorenbarrett said:

I can take this two ways Maplespal either the obvious ghosts in the dark or less obvious the aging process and the fear of going soon. Loved it either way.

Cherished memories

Thoughts #178
sorenbarrett said:

This is a sad poem where abuse is encouraged as a means of dealing with it. Maybe I misunderstand the intent or maybe it is the old adage of what ever doesn\'t kill you makes you stronger. A tough read. Nicely and poetically worded

October 12th, 2025 09:55

Silence the words
sorenbarrett said:

A great write about the ways words pass on knowledge and feelings and how sound is not necessary by virtue of the alphabet and words written. Well done.

Sagging
Friendship said:

The poem \"Sagging\" revolves around the struggle with mental and physical awareness, highlighting the relationship between the mind and body. The subject matter delves into the heaviness of thought and the feeling of being weighed down by one\'s own mental state, while also acknowledging the complex interactions between neurological functions and physical sensations. It portrays a sense of introspection, where the speaker reflects on their mental condition and the realities of existence.
