Porchlight to Cityscape
sorenbarrett said:
This poem to me a metaphor of life in general where the familiar and routine can be interrupted at any moment leaving one naked and exposed and feeling not only vulnerable but estranged in a world one does not know. A great write

Very nicely crafted with a wise concept of how definitions vary and lead to conflict. The metaphor of language was particularly well done for words meaning misunderstanding occur. This is a deep write and a fave

The Demon Left Me Hollow
sorenbarrett said:
A poem that reveals the recognition of being victimized and taken advantage of the admission of allowing it to happen and the resolve to not allow this to happen again and live a better day. Nicely done with power.

Where the pigs eat
Sigmund Gilbert said:
This piece came from a place most people don’t talk about — the raw, unfiltered part of betrayal where love is twisted into control, and care is turned into manipulation.
It’s not about revenge.
It’s about erasure — about reclaiming power when someone tries to rewrite your love story with lies.
“Where the Pigs Eat” isn’t subtle.
It’s what it feels like to bury the version of you that tolerated cruelty and silence the echo of someone who never deserved your heart in the first place.
No more mourning. No more remembering. No more giving space to someone who chose to become unrecognizable.
This is closure.
My way.

Poetic Licence said:
A nicely crafted write entrenched in the overwhelming feeling of anger, hate and rage. Haunting and dark yet has a real feel to it, nicely done

A fave for the emotion shown in this raw and dark poem of anger and hate. So well written it reeks of the smell of the pig pen and the thought of being rooted up and devoured by them. Nicely done

You Lied to Live
sorenbarrett said:
A fave for its rawness and powerful statement screaming out of the dark. It carries some deep understanding of human motivation and a need to maintain one\'s own self image. It displays a strong feeling of pain and suffering as well as anger and one person in a broken couple. Powerful

Cathedral of Sky & Flame
Poetic Licence said:
A wonderful write of gaining self worth, value and belief, to break out and become the person they had hidden beneath the self imposed shackles, the person they wanted to be, nicely expressed and written

The Rooms Still Whisper Her
sorenbarrett said:
The poem progresses from loss and its mourning through burial and the tomb to resurrection and a new day. A lovely process of nature and worded so well with great images in this metaphor. A fave

Mourgana of the Fey said:
This poem drew me in from start to finish , the tale told is a meandering road that perhaps reflects loss. Not only loss of a person but from memories. The embers fading , we are that which we burry indeed. Many reflections within these lines! A fine piece

What the Trembling Knows
sorenbarrett said:
I love the way this poem left the ending open for interpretation and whether it was to divulge love or to let go of it remains the reader\'s choice. Well worded and metered for each thought to sink in before moving on to the next it was well paced. Nicely done

This poem so nicely puts in perspective the view of a mirage that faded away as the day cooled and became nothing more than dry sand. A beautiful piece of work.
