I Don\'t Sleep In My Bed
gray0328 said:
Your poem expresses loneliness, physical discomfort, and emotional exhaustion, centered around the repetitive image of the speaker trying — and failing — to find rest on a couch. On the surface, it’s about sleepless nights and an aching body, but underneath, it’s about emotional displacement — not being able to return to a space (the bed) that once offered comfort and intimacy. Well Done Anthony

When The Ark Came Home
sorenbarrett said:
I remember the story of David and can not but feel far deeper meaning in this poem than that, that dances on the surface. This poem to me reflect a darkness beneath the dancing glamor or a more guilty nature. A wonderfully written piece that deserves a fave

Schizophrenia In The Static Between Thoughts
Syd said:
I really like this. Your poem reminds me of the struggle that can be the writing process.
\"Trying to gather the scattered sparks
Into something like a self
That can hold its shape\"

Schizophrenia In The Static Between Thoughts

This poem seems a self reflection on making sense of all that is around us of the static and bits and pieces. Well written

Alone
Rev. Lord C.M. Bechard said:
Being alone holds more power than most are capable of holding onto. It requires an inner strength that the majority refuse to acknowledge they have. All have that inner flame continually blooming within. A very frightening prospect, indeed.

Mic Check One Two
sorenbarrett said:
Here there is a sense of duality a shadow or reflection that as an alter ego needs checking and in the mic that amplifies one\'s words the poem is set. Nicely done

Mommy Mommy Mommy
sorenbarrett said:
Emerging as an actual physical piece of our mothers we can not help but be closely tied. Residing inside them for nine months we are both part of the same being. Sharing DNA food and emotions. She protects us for our first years, is the nurturing part of our day taking care of our needs. A lovely write

Today I Walk Into The Fire Of Myself
Paul Bell said:
Sometimes self-analysis is actually worse than people talking about you.
In saying that, January is the month for starting anew, throwing out the past and moving on.
Just realised, those were the ex\'s words.

Living In A Coffin
Friendship said:
An interesting title, this poem, \"Living In A Coffin,\" revolves around the themes of confinement, internal struggle, and the haunting nature of memory and guilt. The poet reflects on their emotional and psychological state, comparing their experience to living in a coffin, symbolizing both physical and metaphorical entrapment. The poem explores the darkness of solitude, the cyclical nature of thoughts, and the fear of confronting one\'s true self.

A most interesting choice of metaphor in this poem and its potential meaning. Nicely written it speaks of isolation and withdrawal but also symbolic death. Very nicely done
