I\'m surprised we leave the house in the morning.
Mind you, the sharks aren\'t in the water any more, they\'re all online.

A clever write using fish and sharks as metaphor for problems that arise and grow through time. Well done

Fascinating metaphor for doubts and fears which verily do eat us alive, played out until I lost track of what we were discussing in the metaphorical drama played out effectively. Beautifully rendered with exceptional imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

The recognition that with the blessing of rain comes a little mud. Very nicely written this poem speaks of the tradeoff of friendship with some pain that accompanies it. Very nice and a fave for the metaphor

But none saith, where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;
(And wifes to love, as our own bodies). Nice work.
It is enough for the disciple to be as his master, and the servant as his lord.

A sense of wanting to be another person, but as they really are and not what they pretend to be. I feel a question of sexuality being raised and does marriage really bring around bliss, enjoyed the read

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

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

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
