Gasp for Air

Good write, Ally. I am 87 and feel like that sometimes. I stare into the moment. Something a bird in a tree, a bug on the screen, a drop of water glistening in the sun. Something is asking you, —The Poet— to remember it.

A poem that expresses feeling of overwhelming pressure wearing one down. A feeling of weakness and insignificance in the whole process. Well expressed.

Join the club. When we land on solid rock, we can stop sinking.
We only need enough to survive, I take what comes, and have learned, to enjoy the ride!

Salem’s Secret

Symbolic of all that are tormented and tortured by society. We are judgmental by our own distorted point of view assuming it to be correct. This poem makes its point poetically. Nicely written. For those of us that don\'t believe in witches these were people that because they were different or for political reasons were condemned. We do the same today not with witches but any that are different and instead of hanging or burning them ostracize, ridicule and torment them. Sad world.

Living On Eggshells
Tristan Robert Lange said:
In fact, no life or household is perfect. Very insightful and powerful poem on the horror of fear in a household. So many, too many, are filled with that fear to varying levels. Well done. 🌹👏 A fave.

A very relatable write to so many, living within the confines of a broken home, a sad write with fear in the words, nicely expressed

Fear in a home makes it less than a home. Here I hear the fear. Nicely written

Drowning in the mist
sorenbarrett said:
I remember those days. There was never enough time to learn what one needed to know and would be tested on as well as maintain social relationships and do family obligations or chores. But then it could have been worse and was in my father\'s day when in the depression he worked a job as well as went to school. Good write.

A well written piece of struggling with hope, written with emotion and honesty and there is nothing wrong with saying how you feel

Emotional expressions well spoken in metaphor as well as images. A game of chess where only the king knows the rules. A nightmare. Well written
