Faceless War
sorenbarrett said:
Nicely written this poem speaks of dirty secrets sanitized by media where war is an economic industry and loss is swept under the rug. Nicely written in good rhyme it has a powerful message

Nonsense
sorenbarrett said:
The author may insist that the country is fictional but it sounds all too real to me and I would have to agree that my country does far too much of all this. Good write

Chessboard
sorenbarrett said:
A great metaphor of a game where chess is symbolized in the world when the game was designed to symbolize the world. Inverted it works as well. Loved the moves you made queen\'s gambit?

Chronicles of Warnia
sorenbarrett said:
A fanciful (or maybe not) tale. If in metaphor it could easily represent the world of today. Well said

Not in my Name
sorenbarrett said:
Powerful and logical, who asked Paris to fall for Hellen and then dump the blame on her. In each case you have pointed four fingers back as one pointed the blame. A lovely poem that forces people to look in a mirror and face the difficult task of assuming responsibility. The weak and helpless are easy targets when one can not face the truth. A fave

Five Hours
sorenbarrett said:
A beautiful poem about an atrocious act sensitivity about insensitivity. The hatred of the old enacted on the innocence of the young. The prophetic becomes poetic and after grieving the present the world soon buries memories. Very well written a fave

A clever metaphor sews up this image. It is stitched with a patchwork of combinations not expected. A good read

Fingers
sorenbarrett said:
I love the analogy and the various aspects of similarity. Yes fingers can bend but only one way and they leave their individual marks behind them. Nicely written and very clever.

Silverfish
sorenbarrett said:
This poem tunnels deep through the paper pages of layers of emotions. It is soft and quiet unfolding the deterioration of aged neglect leaving only dust and fragments where once poignant print of love and care now yellowed lay in the dark of the past. It gives me shudders watching scurrying insects of time, feeling them crawl over the present\'s skin. A definite fave

This poem deserves more than one reading in that it holds within it multiple facets of modern life and its mask. A wonderful write of the public and private life displayed by so many. Loved it a fave

Blankets of Silence
sorenbarrett said:
Most poetic and poignant this poem hits hard and has some wonderful lines but even more profound is it\'s lines that make her feel as if deficient mentally \"Coins confused her,
paper frightened her
she understood sandwiches and orange juice\"
And many are either intellectually or psychologically. In its very style this poem conveys the message. Brilliant!! I truly love this poem just as i love such people. My wife always gave them money and rides and she converted me to do the same. A definite fave

Nicely written. Your poem seeks to illuminate the often-overlooked emotional landscape of domestic life, revealing the complexities and struggles that accompany routine tasks. It invites readers to reflect on the intersection of the mundane and the profound in everyday existence.

Age of Almost

So near yet so far. Plastic is the word that comes to mind. Plastic wood that looks close to wood but not quite, a plastic smile is the same. A plastic artificial world of technology where the imagined is worth more than the real. Nicely written
