My warrantee ran out long ago. I think when I was born my parents were told that that model was beyond repair. A good write made me smile.

This poem presents sex as a marker of a relationship not animal gratification, and I use the term animal loosely. A poem of values. Nicely written

Subterranean Tragedy
sorenbarrett said:
When unfulfilled we call it a regret but if it were to have worked out it might have been a regret of another nature so count it a blessing. Good write

This poem starts as a horror spectacle then in metaphor becomes just deserts for the past. Nicely worded it leaves a dark image. Well done

The Burial
sorenbarrett said:
It is the pairing of opposites in this poem that gives it its unexpected contrasts and appeal. It is gritty and dark with vast changes in emotion and meaning in the mind taking one on an emotional journey and smacks of the old Russian style of Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev and carries that same darkness. It is in its mystery where the object is not revealed that the real interest lies and just like a magician you never reveal your tricks maintaining the aura where the mistake of a reveal would spoil the whole thing. A lovely piece of art that leave me covetous. A fave

Wreckage
sorenbarrett said:
A great set of metaphors here decorate this poem of lost love. The house, the tree, the window, the ornament. All aged, dark, rotted, broken, shattered yet in this another metaphor of the rainbow a promise that it will never come again. Yet like reality where rainbows may signal an end to a storm they make false promises. A fave

Well written, your poem explores themes of youthful innocence, the transient nature of life, and the bittersweet experience of growing up. It captures a moment of connection between two individuals in a setting that juxtaposes the seriousness of death with the joy of youthful exploration.

Passage
Friendship said:
The poem \"Passage\" explores themes of chaos, loss, and the inevitability of fate, particularly in the context of a traumatic event, likely a car accident. The imagery suggests a moment frozen in time, marked by despair and the stark reality of mortality.

Repentance

Deeply philosophical this poem is mind provoking and with its poetic flare challenges the reader to call bull shit but none will dare because despite wanting it to otherwise we know its true. A fave

Paradoxical by conventional thought reality is a hard task master. A poem of wisdom that few wish to believe and fewer still accept. A poignant write that earns a fave

Literary devices: Imagery “purple shroud of country dark,” “crumbling teeth,” “blackened bones.”
Alliteration “bleating sheep,” “fiends their feasting-dead,” “shambling horde.”
Symbolism - zombies -recurring fears or past traumas; fire & burial - final purification and closure.
Tone -Dark, eerie, then triumphant as the villagers overcome the horror. Well written.
