Hold Fast
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Katie, this resonates. The way sorrow moves through short-lived peace, the insistence on holding fast anyway…it feels lived, not abstract. There’s dignity in that persistence. Thank you for sharing it. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Love your last two lines Katie they are most poetic. This poem speaks to the allowing of physical deterioration but the denial of mental rot. Nicely done

My friend, this is a stunning use of form and voice. Experimental free verse...which I LOVE. The simplicity of a child’s perspective lets the emotions speak without filtering, and those closing lines ache with truth. It’s gentle, honest, and unforgettable. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a wonderful poem written in free style that is quite emotional in the loss of someone special to something sad that there is no one but nature to blame for. A piece that touches the heart as all poetry should

Katie, this is beautifully balanced. Affection flows both ways, neither diminished nor elevated beyond the other. The cadence moves like an evening tide, and the ending lands true…friendship as a shared gift, given and received with care. Wonderful write, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Educative insights are badly needed for all those with different mental capacities to the \'norm\'.. You have contributed with this.

Like A River After Rain

poem is a vivid, emotionally charged portrait of anger, frustration, and isolation, expressed through a mix of surreal and elemental imagery. It reads like a moment of inner eruption — a glimpse into someone overwhelmed by their feelings, unable to find release or recognition. Well Done Katie

A heart felt piece Katie that I have come to feel through the years working with the autistic, retarded, mentally ill they all have something to teach us. We are all human and not that much different.

What was Lost
sorenbarrett said:
Duality in opposition, where opposites attract they also grow weary and in this poem there is this push and pull that both keeps things together but causes great discomfort. It is as two nations tied to each other out of convence and reliance but adversaries pursuing different values and aims. Nicely written

What a fabulous poem Katie! I sometimes think we try to fix other things when we cannot fix ourselves. Your imagery and plot was very entertaining. Nice work.

Katie, this poem understands repair as both physical and inward. The measured pace, the attention to weight and effort, and that stilling at the close all feel true. It’s gentle, grounded, and affirming. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This carries a lovely tension between stillness and effort. I love how the physical act of repair mirrors the inner work—the slow tortoise pace makes the eventual rise feel earned, gritty, and quietly triumphant.

An abstract metaphor to represent what we can change and what must be left behind.

Now this is a lovely metaphor Katie it is painted with beautiful imagery that puts in vivid contrast that, that needs repair. The introduction of the heart at the end emphasizes that there are some things that lie beyond our capacity to repair. Beautifully done Katie
