When the Heart Races the Clock
sorenbarrett said:

A hurricane indeed the question becomes cat one, two, three, four or five. The fear is always a five where nothing survives and inner tornadoes take off roofs and carry people away. It is hard to breath in a hurricane the air pressure changes and one has to worry about flying objects. Tidal surge also a problem where one could drown. They say seek safe shelter before it hits but before weather forecasting how would one know? Oh if one could only forecast the panic. A vivid imagery is presented in this poem tying the two together. \"White knuckled waves\" also noted in the lines of tide receding and pulling finger from one\'s throat. A marvelous description of such attacks. This poem presents the whole cycle from beginning to end of the storm. Very nice

Butterflies Fly Free
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Dearest friend, and I feel honored to call you that, reading this feels like permission. Permission to loosen the grip, to stop measuring worth by weight carried. That idea of release as wisdom resonates deeply with me. Thank you for that, Friendship. Well done, indeed, and a fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Butterflies Fly Free
Paul Bell said:

Certainly when I was a child, butterflies were abundant, not anymore sadly.
Such a gracious creature, one of natures miracles.

Butterflies Fly Free
Soman Ragavan said:

\"We are the moment, bright and brief....\" This sums up the life of the butterfly. A fragile, delicate life, brief as well. It spreads the spendours of its wings. In its brief life it has to do what it must do.

Butterflies Fly Free
sorenbarrett said:

It is not just external beauty but that inside that allows us to fly free. It seems that the beauty of the butterfly is a metaphor for the beauty of the soul in each of us. The air that is there for all is free as well and can lift our wings without restriction. A lovely poem that has many details that reinforce this theme. Nicely done my friend.

\"Voices Unbound\"
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Reading this reminds me how often we confuse volume with voice. The way you honor presence, gesture, touch, and design as language feels grounding…it calls for listening that’s active, not passive. Beautiful job, dear friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

\"Voices Unbound\"
Cheeky Missy said:

Autism, in addition to dyslexia, is only one of a couple of my features which cause me difficulty but are simply a fact of life.

\"Voices Unbound\"
Paul Bell said:

Autistic people are usually good artists, but give them a computer and ask them to show you something, you will see speed at work.
I know this from asking my nephew for a bit of help on the computer. Sadly, I don\'t do speed learning.
Everyone has their strengths out there, and dumb words hinder advancement.

A well written piece with a good message. It would be nice if we focused on peoples strengths not weaknesses and the message is heard. Nicely done

Always think if you\'re true to yourself, perseverance will pay off.
Maybe not right away, the journey might be long, but worth the wait.

A good write. One step at a time, just one more step. If one focuses on just the next step one will get there. Nicely done

Echoes of a Fading Light
Paul Bell said:

Tried the garden today, it was calling for help.
Managed an hour before I gave up.
Life in winter is definitely for hibernating.

Crow\'s Gambit
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Friendship, this is rich and mesmerizing. It feels intelligent, patient, and deeply attentive to the world it’s watching. The reverence you give the crows never slips into myth-making…it stays grounded and earned. Wonderful write, my dear friend!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Crow\'s Gambit
sorenbarrett said:

This poem starts slow and builds to a wonderful ending. The crow long maligned now realized to be far wiser than thought and a harbinger of not just evil but of seeing into a soul. Nicely written

Echoes of a Fading Light
sorenbarrett said:

This poem carries a dark feeling of sadness and lack of hope. It sees a world that is infertile and painful leaving a sad feeling. Nicely crafted it casts a shadow without promise of a new sunrise. Well done

Echoes of a Fading Light
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Friendship, I connect deeply with this landscape you’ve drawn. That feeling of being surrounded by color others can still see, while you stand somewhere muted and cold, feels painfully familiar. Thank you for this, my friend. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

We are \'free\' too, not to comment on poet\'s poems where they NEVER reply! I\'m not saying that we need to confirm a comment every time by saying \'You\'re welcome\', etc. though that\'s encouraging.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Friendship, this poem moves with grace. You strip away obligation and noise, then let presence take its place. The ending doesn’t shout liberation…it settles into it, and that’s what makes it convincing. Beautiful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
