2 Fragments
sorenbarrett said:
These two may be fragments but tie together well and if there was ever an antiwar message it is here. The whole idea of greed underlying war is a strong one and my favorite lines are the last one of the final fragment (a painted mess in a field of mud.) My father, grandfather, and great grandfather all fought in wars and all said the same after it was over. It was just a bunch of foolishness, A fave

Why not, a couple more

There is a longing and a regret in these poems a wistful feeling of sadness and faint but dying hope. The emotion is there. Well written

A couple poems not related

Both with powerful meaning. Reflections indeed. There are important questions we need to ask of ourselves and no one else can answer. Very nice.

A warmed house

Embers still burn in that fire that has burnt down in this poem. A lovely write of holding on to past memories and contentment with what one had. Most lovely

A catchy wording that I take to be a reverse psychology of saying what is not intended. Nicely done

Unique
sorenbarrett said:
Although we are all the same we are all different. We each are unique and will never be replaced by another the same. Very nicely written

This thing

Unseen and unnamable forces that guide and leave feelings profound unexplainable. Most touching and identifiable but still unseen. Lovely

I walked away

Honestly assessing a situation that has gone wrong, accepting one\'s part in it and correcting it for the next time is the most mature manner of growth. A most lovely write.

Warrior
sorenbarrett said:
A fun read. Everyone wants to be a warrior these days. Enforcers, Punishers, Enforcers, Terminators, even Accountants. A focus on getting even setting justice right and fighting the good fight. Lovely

Prayer & Last Message
sorenbarrett said:
The first brings images of organized religion and its motivation power and worldly wealth the second a resignation to death and a lingering message to those left behind. Very nice

Reaching for sleep
sorenbarrett said:
Sometimes the noise around us is overwhelming and silence is peace. Yet in this I sense a deeper metaphor where silence is not just of sound. Lovely

Far amount
sorenbarrett said:
I used to love to watch the sky but with each passing year the visible stars grew fewer. The milky way that used to fill the sky has faded into city light and dimmed to just a few. This is a lovely write.

We all are who we are and see though our eyes as long as we recognize that this is just who we are and not who others are is just fine. A wonderful write

Rattled & Bored and waiting
sorenbarrett said:
Loved the first most original poem that depicts focus during times of boredom. The smallest things a drop or any type of noise can shift our focus. Very nicely depicted
