A clear image used as a metaphor with some great lines. \"But the light doesn\'t reach like it did anymore\" seems to have deeper meaning. Well done

Little Daisy Lu in the poem is an analogy to the next generation and making sure that the chances of more people getting hurt in the future lessens

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

Life is...
sorenbarrett said:
A wonderful write showing the spectrum of life\'s dark and bright side from pressure, mistakes, deficits to its beauty, joys and exhilaration. A lovely scale presenting good and bad but ending in the positive and bright. Very nicely done

Very well put! We must remember that the rainbow comes after the storm. You perfectly captured so many meaningful moments. Nice job.

Life is nightmares and dreams and everything in between. Well said. I love all the little things you listed and how halfway through the direction just changes showing that we have to squeeze the lemons to have the lemonade.

Summer blues

It seems that we are never content. Either too cold and we long for summer or too hot and we long for winter. A wonderful poem

So hard to grow up when there is no fertilizer, water or sun. A lovely poem of one trapped in the past, growth stunted. Most poetically done

A very vivid and imaginative comparison. The ancients used to compare life to a string and you do nicley. Great work.

A poem of being impassioned and the feelings that go with it. It runs like a race and like a cross country race it has pacing. Nicely done

Just a seed
sorenbarrett said:
Each seed becomes what its destiny and biochemistry dictate. The apple does not fall far from the tree and an apple tree can not sprout a cherry tree. Everything in its season. Good poem

I love how you catch that instant by the window; when rushing cars slow down into whole lives filled with hidden hopes and flaws. Your sense of sonder is a gentle reminder: noticing others’ stories turns solitude into shared experience, and in that recognition, we’re never truly alone.
