A thought on time

I have to say if this is a leftover give me seconds. Brilliant wording in the first stanza sets the tone and most thought provoking. Yes there is nothing but the present. A fave

It\'s a bit like pig Latin you just have to think a bit before you put it down. Good one.

I\'ll sing

A potential terror that may not be but none the less exists in the mind. Handing over control to any other is filled with fear. Garbage in garbage out they used to say. What is programed or left out of the program is the problem. Programmers make mistakes as we all know and this could be a serious one. A haunting poem of warning.

Ghosted - 4 views
sorenbarrett said:
A most interesting approach that gives different views and feels. Being ghosted is something most have felt and can identify with. A lonely feeling to this write.

Sorry, there are 6 poems
Fína Elara 🌙 Petra Patrice said:
I’m Only-This poem is exploring the speaker’s sense of self in relation to life’s hierarchy. It combines pride and humility, pondering existence while acknowledging inevitable decline. The rhythm and repetition emphasize both control and contemplation.
Together We Dance: A dark and violent narrative, this poem portrays lethal intimacy and chaos. The imagery is vivid and unsettling, highlighting a bond formed through destruction. The tension between rhythm and horror creates a surreal, almost cinematic feel.
Evasive Thoughts: Similar in tone to the previous poem, this one emphasizes stealth, danger, and precision. The speaker’s perspective blends admiration for skill with a chilling emotional detachment. The tension is relentless, and the imagery of quiet execution is striking.
Heated Work: This poem shifts to a more grounded, heroic tone. It focuses on human effort against natural danger, fire and smoke and expresses admiration for resilience and courage.
My Shot: Aggressive and cathartic, this poem externalizes internal conflict through metaphors of violence and confrontation. The repeated actions stabbing, bludgeoning, aiming mirror the mental intensity and release of emotion.
No Fooling: A sharp, assertive piece that critiques deception and highlights wisdom and discernment.
Nicely written poems.

All but the last seem to speak of passion and death and the last the taking of something from another. These themes closely woven as in the taking of life itself the most precious of what we have. I identify, having just written yesterday a similar poem. Well worded in most poetic form I give them a fave

Thoughts on writing

So many times this has occurred to me that with the falling of sites, the possibility of an electronic crash all will be lost. I\'m sure that anciently they thought the same when paper came about and they were chiseling stone with immortal words. A fun read that makes one think. A fave

I wish & Reward
sorenbarrett said:
It is with the first that I identify most. It speaks to me of how no one knows what one sees even if looking at the same thing from the same direction. There is an individuality of perspective that the mind creates with a blend of the senses and one\'s past history that is unique. Lovely

Towards me
sorenbarrett said:
The feeling that it is better to voice and vent feelings than to keep them in. Here is seems even more comfortable to hear rage than to have it hidden to hear fear is to be able to deal with it, to hide it is to reinforce it. A lovely write

This poem evokes thoughts of how we all see things different and how even ourselves in our memories create distortions from what we would now see. Time and perspective make us all blind to what ever reality is. A lovely write and a fave
