There Is No Dream
sorenbarrett said:

A feeling of age, being worn out and overly ripe. This poem conveys the feeling well. Nicely done

Afterwards
sorenbarrett said:

This poem gives greater meaning the term filthy lucre. A writing of advice and there is nothing more private than a person\'s bank balance, a sex life can be shared but one\'s worth is sacred. Well written

Think In Shapes

Geometry in poetry Euclid would be proud. A most unique poem that combines shapes and as you say thought progression

Afternoon T-Shirt With Alice (Part 2)
Paul Bell said:

Stoned silly in the House of Lords.
If only that was true, the rabbit said.
Alice laughed, and the \'\'silly\'\' was taken out.

Afternoon T-Shirt With Alice (Part 2)
sorenbarrett said:

A fun revised version of the original classic tale told in tecnicolor and Imax it jumps off the page as one goes down the rabbit hole. A fun read

Downstream Upstream
sorenbarrett said:

Common belief is one does not sail upstream without considerable effort or a motor. So let it be sailing down stream as life takes us time does not go backwards but in memories. A lovely write.

Horizon Edge
sorenbarrett said:

Imagery in this poem leads me to believe that there are mind altering substances involved. A fun read in an out of body experience

Lounging for Lizards
Fína Elara 🌙 Petra Patrice said:

This piece is vivid, chaotic, and very alive it feels like a raw urban snapshot, blending sensory overload with personal reflection. The mix of city noise, cafes, nightlife, and inner musings gives it a kind of stream-of-consciousness realism. Nicely written.

Lounging for Lizards
sorenbarrett said:

The thoughts, associations, experiences of a free spirit cast adrift on the sea of humanity where there seems to be a large amount of drifting debris. Well written

The Mourning Cottage
sorenbarrett said:

A beautiful tribute to one missed. A lovely write.

The Forbidden Fence
sorenbarrett said:

We all have such fences that we can\'t get over and wonder what is on the other side. Sometimes we are able to later see the other side and sometimes not. A very nice write.

What It Is to Be Without
sorenbarrett said:

A sense of sadness pervades this poem along with a strange feeling of identification to greater or lessor degrees. It is a very human write raw in some ways and yet with periodic polish of rhyme. It speaks of a soul reaching out but not able to touch. A lovely write

SUNSET TO SUNSET
sorenbarrett said:

There is a feel of drifting through time and space in this poem of loosing relationships over time and that loss seems vaguely sorrowful. A almost ethereal piece

Sex Pistols (Filthy Lucre Tour 23 Jan 96)
sorenbarrett said:

Very punk and a time I remember when my boys were of an age to enjoy such things. Nicely written

August 28th, 2025 16:41

The Yin and Yang Show
sorenbarrett said:

Indeed this presents the opposites in nature and the how they compliment each other rather than fight. It is in contrast and opposition that harmony is created and that the cycle of life continues. A philosophical write in personification. Lovely

Right Next To Me
sorenbarrett said:

Fanciful is the mind of the poet where there are no constraints by reality or dimensions. A wonderful write and a fave

Right On Through
Poetic Licence said:

I see the write was written a while ago, which confirms in this write how little over time things have changed, enjoyed the read

Right On Through

Oh these are troubled times. A poem that makes a statement about how things are. Well done

Not Guilty
Poetic Licence said:

This is such a sad and heartfelt write of the lifetime of abuse to someone culminating in the worse type of abuse imaginable. The anger is totally justified at these monsters who live amongst us, the author is right there is no excuse or justifications for this type of abuse

August 8th, 2025 21:45

Not Guilty
sorenbarrett said:

A good deal of anger comes through in this poem of tragedy and sadness. The poem depicts human monsters that enact their atrocities on others. It leaves a bitter taste. Nicely written to evoke these feelings.

America
sorenbarrett said:

A fave for the anthem at the end. I have driven those roads and felt those winds and sun. A bit of nostalgia for me on this one.

A surreal poem cast in real setting and with a supernatural type of feel. Well done
