Fascinating and rather intriguing, curious, rather. I remain undecided. Rendered in tasteful brevity with a far deeper message than its size would suggest. Thank you for sharing.

I love the way the repetition at the end of each line reinforces the feeling of the poem and it builds climaxing in the last line. Nicely done

Sorry you\'ve been lacking that twinkling spark called \"inspiration,\" this is a beauty. Keep on! There\'s a charm to its simplicity and definitely an appeal. I like it! Prettily rendered with excellent imagery and a very winsome poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Frankly, there\'s a distinct echo of an antique poem haunting your lines, a sonnet of one Michael Drayton, and I cherish that.

This poem carries an intriguing short and regular meter on alternating lines giving it a feel of a walking pace that does not cease until the end of the poem. It has a sense of urgency of a job that must be done and all else put on the back burner. This accompanies the subject of the poem itself and enhances it. Nicely done

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

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

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
