Mercy burns bright, but the world still chokes on its ash.
Even flames meant to heal leave soot where it lands, stubborn and unrepentant.

Brilliant!!! Masterfully written this poem from beginning to end carries the marks of a classic. It contains elements of greatness in message, metaphor, rhyme and meter. It is an obvious fave from beginning to end. One of the better poems that I have read on this and four other sites.

This poem in its images presents a dream of a psychedelic nature to a dystopian world where metaphor falls heavy on the land. Well done

It is the deep philosophical meaning in each line and metaphor used that makes this a fave. A lovely write that delves deep into current psychosocial events and people. It outlines a personality type and their way of dealing with the world. Well written

Upon first read this poem was difficult for me to understand but not difficult to appreciate the beautiful metaphors and images it took further readings to gain some understanding that goes deeper than the surface. Nicely crafted and a fave

Searching for a Foot
sorenbarrett said:
Here a depiction of an event seems metaphor as well. A journey with no soles and a deadly spider as well that society tells one to ignore. Where is the joy when flowers are removed. All leads to a cliff anyway.

But I\'m not dead yet! A harsh and powerful poem of a man that is scarcely a man. A preditor and vampire of health a parakite that sucks the blood of hope. With great imagery this poem was presented causing the reader to cringe and withdraw. A fave

Tonight, with Hope

In this poem the shadows of a parental nightmare, the loss of a child no greater loss. This poem gives this feel. Not sadness but abject despair. Very dark

No reason why it could not be satire well strung together. The meanings/connotations hanging off \'bulldozer\' are many - all pointing in the same direction.

Shadow
coracaodacripta said:
You could probably go more into depth with this, but I say that about my own writings, too, and sometimes enough is just right. This is a thought provoking, and surprisingly imaginative read. I couldn\'t help but recall the way my shadow shifts beneath high street lamps at night. Sometimes I like my shadow more than I like my person. Thanks for this.
