A Fevered Dream
sorenbarrett said:

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

Satan\'s Secret Drug
Cheeky Missy said:

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
Poetic Licence said:

A touch of darkness but powerful write that gave me the feeling of the long road to death, finally being executed, interesting write, enjoyed the read

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.

nine years too long
sorenbarrett 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

Jim and Mary Jane
sorenbarrett said:

Dreams and reality two partners in life, truth and lies married to each other. Lovely

Farewell
sorenbarrett said:

It reads remarkably well and has good rhyme. I have never done one of these and will have to try it some time. Very nice

Original Sin
sorenbarrett said:

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.

I hope we can get back to a world where life for all means more than a deal, enjoyed the read

$200
sorenbarrett said:

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.

I recently heard someone say something along the lines of poetry being the use of language not shackled by its own rules

What is poetry?
Cheeky Missy said:

Read, read, read the poets of centuries ago, if you listen closely, you may discover why I insist the poets came from the ancient prophets. Yes, I\'d call your post poetry, but I carnot delineate why. Hopefully that still makes elusive sense.

My perspective all writings can be considered poetry, poem raises a good point because a lot people do ask that question, enjoyed the read.

Even scholastic overstimulation has a detrimental effect on quite every scholar, both seasoned and ill equipped.
