Too Sweet for Your Sweet Tooth
sorenbarrett said:
In this marvelous poem of yours, the first stanza took me to a personal relationship, but as the poem evolves, it seems much more than personal and society in nature. It seemed to speak of the falseness that lies in relationships today. It talks of Control in relationships and how this poison kills. Hi, particularly loved the last stanza. And how it was equated to taste. Brilliant.!!

Silent Scars
sorenbarrett said:
Such a great metaphor for this particular issue. This wonderful poem strikes right at the heart of domestic violence. Children are always the silent victims and bear the scars for the rest of their lives.

Rich in imagery. You take your reader to the core of the subject matter. The children are the collateral damage. Love the elastic band wording and the tension that brings. Such a roller coaster of moods.

A Mother\'s Betrayal
Cassie58 said:
What sort of mother indeed. All too easy in the past for leaders to take their country into conflict. As a mother myself, I have imagined the pain in past years of sons leaving for war and not returning. Every mother!s horror story. Unbearable agony. A strong leader looks for diplomatic solutions. Well I can think of one politician of ours (Blair) who took my country into a war. He should be locked up. You raise many issues here. An interesting read which poses many questions.

A Mother\'s Betrayal

No, thanks for taking my efforts in the same direction seriously. These questions really cannot be asked often enough, and it only by repetition and gaining numbers... (how many?) that .....I feel sad and hopeless actually.

A Mother\'s Betrayal
sorenbarrett said:
Most interesting analogies that makes sense and call out for peace not war why violence is the answer to violence is the most interesting question. Sun tzu Said that the best way to win is to win by not fighting. A wonderful poem that has numerous cutting edges and beautiful points made very nicely said.

A Mother\'s Betrayal
Neville said:
I have personally run out of questions on the subject of war .. to date, I have found they largely fall on deaf ears .. You have clearly thought long and hard before formulating yours .. and whilst we may not be afforded satisfactory answers, at least it seems like we are on the same side .. Neville

Farewell to Strangling
Neville said:
I know for a fact there are many in the same boat .... & most of them remain there through fear .. when asked what they are fearful of, most respond with an honest don\'t know .. which just goes to prove that we only fear what we don\'t understand .. and if as you say, you got out .. well done you sir .. yes indeed, bloomin well done ..

Farewell to Strangling
sorenbarrett said:
One must do what one fines fulfilling. To be simply a cog in the machine this is not the human dream. A poem of assertion.

The Price of Revenge
Neville said:
You just hit the proverbial nail, square on its proverbial head sir .. In an increasingly false & unkind world, it makes no sense at all, not to look after ourselves .. Neville

I love to feel of this poem. It has some sense of darkness to it, but at the same time as feelings of hope.

Waiting For Them To Return

Life moves on as portrayed in this poem. Sometimes we leave a mess behind. We are anxious for what is to come but live in the moment.

In Search of the Real Me

Change is hard but that\'s no reason to be too hard on yourself. You lashed yourself with style and strength, I think.

Deep self reflection is evidenced in this poem. A haunting questioning of the past and where it has led beautifully worded.

The Wrongs - They Were Right
sorenbarrett said:
A most splendid concept that I hold as well that all choices take us to the same mountain top some by pain and others by joy there is no wrong choice only ones that take longer and hurt more.

THE SNAKES INTERWINE
Doggerel Dave said:
Right – so here’s my take (I think it parallels yours, but if not, you know where to find me):
Truth is contingent upon time and place. No such thing as ultimate truth (and I’m not talking about truths swimming around in a thought disordered mind). Truth inevitably changes as more knowledge and insight is accrued over “the passage of time”. Don’t know why I started this…you had it there from the start.

\"War was and always will be
Fought for power, dominance
And MONEY above all\" Yes, double Yes. A truth summed up without bullshit.

THE SNAKES INTERWINE
sorenbarrett said:
I love this topic so phiosophical it is ripe for poetic expression and metaphor. Love your metaphor of shadows and the one of snakes and how you relate them. Snakes related to evil can on the other hand be not only beguilers but good in eating vermin. Their sedding of skin is like the changing of truth to a lie or vice versa truth changes over time indeed. Very nicely done my friend

Glad to see this Rebellion it takes courage to post controversial writes and this tells the story of prejudice in a satirical manner. Here the absurdity of how people believe their their God condones the killing of others. A great challenge of peoples beliefs where art\'s aim is to raise awareness of inequities, injustices and the absurdity of commonly accepted conventions. Great job
