Dysphoria
sorenbarrett said:
Some people count sheep others bruises that seem to pile up. Some in their layers of dirty cloths accumulate procrastinated cleaning that needs to be done. A most wonderful metaphor here. Well done

The poem itself becomes a metaphor unto itself short and to the point.

Is this what love is?
Doggerel Dave said:
I did enjoy the questions you pose. I\'ve written here over the years, criticised \'love\' a as a loose term for lust and/or infatuation, when too often used on these pages.
Your poem goes deeper, and let\'s hope it does induce a \'made me think\' from at least one reader who really means it.

For a long time I looked at plants and trees as adornments, landscaping, another growth out of attention. I have learned that they are a different life source but just as valid and deserving of respect as any other. They may not have consciousness on the same level as us or animals but they have communication, cooperation and give us essentials for life from oxygen to food. A wonderful write increasing peoples awareness and sensitivity to plants. A fave for the message

Thank you, always appreciate your comments. Though, it wasn\'t entirely what I was trying to portray. My goal was to show how ludicrous it is for women and girls to have to be fearful of everywhere they walk and always have to be conscious of how they are portrayed. And the living nightmare that is happening in our world. Parents shouldn\'t have to do all of that. The words saying hide them hide them, is a warning and the sadness of how women HAVE to hide and how if they don\'t, they\'ll get objectified. It shouldn\'t be like this. The words in the poem saying make sure their skirts go over their thighs and to hide their hair is a mock on today\'s society, it basically highlights the harmful mentality that women are somehow responsible for \"luring\" men in. Lastly, society often teaches girls and women that they must dress a certain way (\"skirts cover their thighs\") and blend in (\"hair is out of sight\") to prevent being targeted. How women are forced to constantly police their own bodies, clothing, and behavior (\"never sour\") just to exist safely.

A poem that sets the tone with the image of wolves. It is a good one for wolves only follow their nature and it is up to the shepherd to guard the sheep. I as a father of two daughters did this by making sure that when they went out with a boy that the boy came in and talked to me first. I would tell him that I trusted him with my daughter and was holding him responsible for her care and safety and they were to be back by a certain time and I was sure he could be trusted with those things, and he was to bring her back and give her to my hand. Parents are responsible as you note in your poem to gather the sheep and if you can not be there every moment make sure someone else is. Nicely done
