Reunion
sorenbarrett said:
This one definitely fits the title. For that very reason I avoid such reunions of family, school or any other, I am one of the lost that found myself. Great write

A most interesting poem that is in ways hypnotic itself. It is both literal and metaphorical in the sleep it speaks of and can be taken either way. Lovely

Belief\'s Binding Power
sorenbarrett said:
Hearing this poem my interpretation is how easy it is to go along with the religion one is brought up in. I identify with this and it took me years to drop away from family and friends in my religious views. Drones we are indeed. Mob mentality indeed even to this day I fight to keep my tongue with others. A lovely write and a fave

The Humane Society
sorenbarrett said:
It is the deeper meaning in this poem that gets the fave. It is so brief that the meaning is easily overlooked. Yet is is so clearly stated. (If I can save one I\'ll save them all) yet the one shooting up at the feet is neglected to take the dogs out. The poem itself is a metaphor of this its very meaning hidden from view although it lays in plain sight. Often we do not want to see what is too revealing of ourselves. Wonderfully done.

A most Nihilistic feel to this poem that leaves the reader asking to what end and for what purpose is life. Well written

Satan\'s Secret Drug
sorenbarrett said:
The first lines in this poem brought to mind the acne that adolescents experience and try to hide, the Medusa head reinforced this feel. The dream like state left a drug induced feeling or maybe it is just the haze of adolescence and the existential crisis that it is bathed in. Well written

You\'ve got me. Mystified despite multiple readings, how gorgeously rendered with exceptional imagery and a damning, haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

Self Suffocation
sorenbarrett said:
The title says suffocation but the ending seems electrocution and either way it seems a death sentence. Quite powerful and dramatic it feels final. Nicely said.

Clever, very clever with the color choice and their symbolic meaning yellow cowardice at giving up what one is used to, blue the sadness of loss, black as in black and white or as in darkness and depression. All come with addiction Very nicely done

Autotune
sorenbarrett said:
A most interesting concept. I hate autotune because it takes the humanity out of music would it do the same if used for our social problems? I don\'t know. If you believe in God then in his wisdom did not install autotune. Loved the poem

Original Sin

I love the message of this poem that puts responsibility upon us. We that cause it surely are responsible for protection as well. Very nice

Is this it?
sorenbarrett said:
Layers of metaphor like falling dust bury this poem in meaning hidden. When all seems meaningless we all pray that there is something more. Enigmatic it pleads to be reread over and over.

This poem is far deeper than what it appears upon initial reading. I have read it three times and get a bit of a different take each time. Very nice

I like it as it is. But should you seek further consideration, here are a few observations: Clarify Imagery: Some lines could benefit from more clarity. For instance, \"Seen on patrol nigh every day\" might be rephrased to better convey the man\'s daily routine and its impact on him.
Consistency in Tense: Ensure that the tense is consistent throughout the poem. For example, \"He\'s sought to fix his wrong\" and \"How does he stand so long?\" could be adjusted for tense consistency.
Expanding Themes: You could delve deeper into the themes of honour and redemption. Adding a few more lines or stanzas to explore the man\'s internal conflict and his motivations could enhance the emotional depth of the poem. Just a few thoughts.
