Rebellion, this is sharp and playful. Beneath the humor and wordplay, you caught the Moravia thread...consumerism, sexuality, and the absence of patience in a shallow age. Strong, witty piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Magic Flute
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, I’ve walked that place where music should comfort and instead becomes the trigger...where a kiss claws open memory rather than closeness. You put that trauma cleanly on the page; it’s brutal and true. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Magic Flute

The magic flute plays throughout this poem and the queen of the night sings to Pamina as does Papageno. Can a person recover from trauma depends upon the trauma and the person and maybe the music. Very well done my friend

This poem is satirical, and deeply reflective. Nicely written.

The One Who Questioned
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow. Just 🤯! My friend, this is searing…a relentless build from the boy’s quiet conviction to the mob’s brutal silencing. That repeated “What is freedom?” echoes long after the close. And the irony at the end stings…powerful, fearless work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ I’m in awe!

Bella Shepard said:
Dear poet, this brought a lump to my throat and a profound sadness, for its unnerving truth. All too often, freedom is looked upon as something that satisfies personl desires, but is not extended to those who think differently. This poem lands a punch, right in the middle of the conscience, well done!!

A poetic parable where in freedom we suffer the consequences of others the do now believe in it. Conformity is the formula of society whether bee, ant, or human variation from social norms results in expulsion, banishment or even death. It is in that choice that freedom resides. Lovely

Cuboid Face and The Mom
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This is powerful, my friend. The fear you paint...cuboid face, snake uncoiled, neon city drowning reality...it all presses like a nightmare, chaotic and relentless. But the turn is everything. That single kick in her belly collapses the dread, pulling her back to what matters. A mother’s priorities don’t erase fear, but they anchor her against it, stronger than the illusions around her. You captured that shift so profoundly, my friend. Love this! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Cuboid Face and The Mom
sorenbarrett said:
The poem picks at the brain with its symbolism. The snake a pregnancy and child. Is the snake phalic or satanic or does it portend wisdom is the question. Was the bite impregnation or am I digging too deep. Does stepping out of the picture symbolize stepping out of reality or into it after a vision? Questions the tumble in the mind.

Intriguing. Allowing your unborn child to ground you into reality, having to be strong for them. What are your thoughts whilst writing this if you do not mind my asking?

Humorous. Reminds me of reading or hearing bad reviews about yourself and snarkily shutting them down behind the screen, or perhaps their back.

Clever, satirical, and richly self-aware. It humorously critiques the sometimes arbitrary and contradictory judgments of literary experts. Lovely written poetry. ✨

My friend, this had me laughing…the thunderclap critiques, the fly-check, the density turned Nobel Prize. You’ve flipped pompous judgment into playful defiance, and that’s powerful. A joy to read. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

With \"Expository\", etc and of course the complaint of \"\"No ambiguity and layered meaning\" I\'ve after much difficulty identified him - he\'s an art critic, and while I\'m no fan and categorically believe wrong the old adage \"Those who can do; those who can\'t teach\" I do believe it\'s corollary with respect to art critics may well have some merit.
Entertained no end.

The chain of thought is fascinating as is the humor of associations made. It is so true that I can\'t remember the last time I heard oxygen mentioned in a poem nor hydrogen yet combine the two and water appears quite frequently almost as much as tears and the flow of sadness. A wonderful poem my friend and a fave.

My friend, this one made me grin…the self-mockery laced with sharp wit is priceless. You’ve captured the outsider’s view of poetry with humor and bite. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ And. You, my friend, ARE an artist as evidenced by this poem. A fave!

A great write Demar, many of us have felt that way. We clap at what we don\'t understand so as to not look foolish but what we don\'t understand is many poems don\'t have any understandable meaning.

Real connection is a rare thing, I feel . Most struggle on, make do, try to delude themselves into being happy with what they\'ve got...
The attendant mood so very well portrayed.

How many goodbyes will there be, before the illusion of connection becomes the real thing. As you conclude, the search does not end. Good write!

This is haunting, my friend…from the false warmth of routine greetings to the emptiness of walking out the door. The regret, the longing, the unanswered questions...they all hold heavy. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Very, very powerful!

This stanza ‘The room stood there
as if the eternal truth—
things you could see,
you could feel.’ Is fascinating contains simile, personification and Imagery. Nice.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dear friend, this lingers like a dream-walk...light and breeze as questions rather than answers, ending with that nudge: “Believe, then see.” Your poet’s note resonated with me…I do believe absolute truths exist, but we almost never know them completely. Every glimpse is filtered through our subjectivity. As Kierkegaard said, truth is subjectivity...and you’ve captured that tension here with striking clarity. Brilliantly philosophical and a must fave for me.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Depends what is meant by reality, I think: the world observed by Our senses? Our beliefs? Relationships?
It’s too late at night for me to really come to grips with this (I only know there can never be an absolute reality or rather there is, but it will always remain hidden) so I’ll try to get back tomorrow with a clearer head.

So nicely presented. I would agree with you that truth is changeable what is true in moment may not be in another and what is true for one person is not for another, it is an illusion a term that we fall back to like a child to a parent. But beyond the child\'s eyes the parent changes as well. A wonderful write deeply philosophical in a surreal type presentation. Loved it
