When the entire earth holds its breath.... that single moment opening up to the brightest dawn in our lives.
That single moment stretches too long as I believe I am in that phase of life.
Relatable and enjoyed reading it!

That was a compelling read.
Could fear be a tactic to get you to bleed.

A short poem which describes the effects of depression well. It’s a lonely place to be. Pleased I stopped by. Your poem speaks the truth.

The feeling that accompanies depression and the images that go along as well so nicely laid out in images. Very nice

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a good poem is worth more than a thousand pictures.

It seems sad with the mention of tears. Although not mentioned I see gray. Well done.

A Rosewood Table
sorenbarrett said:

The ambiguity of whether to take this as a literal description of a desk top or as a metaphor of a past life as in the last line makes this work well. The vivid description and images enhances its power.

A most wonderful write that I wished I had thought of. The blanket metaphor ingenious that served so well the poem. This poem evokes feelings of pity and sadness that is revealed and punctuated by reserving its revelation until the last line. Brilliant!!

A blanket is supposed to offer warmth and comfort. Sad to think of a blanket covering the dead. A poignant write, nicely composed.

Heavy
sorenbarrett said:

Heavy is the tone of this poem. Well written and keeping the reader on the edge of his seat until the last line that leaves a heavy feeling in the heart. Loved the use of light in the ending breath.
