Katie, there’s a fierce clarity here…rejecting the image, reclaiming the body, and standing firm in your own worth. That temple line anchors it, and everything builds from there into something grounded and real. It doesn’t ask for permission. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Packaged and marketed beauty in a society of sheep. Nicely written it speaks to individuality and beauty in other forms. Well done

Kaite, I know that feeling…writing not as an option but as something that has to happen. That sense of being compelled, even when the words don’t come easy…yeah, that’s real. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Raw and exposing a poem of a poet that like many of us are compelled to write just as we are compelled to speak what is on our mind. Nicely written Katie

I Know This Place
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Katie, reading this felt like touching that place we all recognize but can’t always hold onto… that sense of peace, love, and belonging that feels true even when it’s distant. The way you name it without forcing it makes it resonate. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Believable Eyes
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Katie, this builds a clear, grounded image…strength, devotion, presence, all layered through simple, deliberate lines. The small details make it real, and the tone keeps it anchored. It feels like both admiration and recognition. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I\'ve read several poems here that all describe a kind of discontent with continuing to do things the way we always have--
Marching to the compulsory drum
Accomplishment earns.
(I include myself in this description--When nothing makes sense anymore--a poem recently published here.)
March to your drum, Katie B.

I really like storms such as you have so richly described. But enjoyment is only possible when that wrought iron bed is enclosed in a watertight container...

Katie, that “pool of obligations / vat of expectations”…that’s the line that really stays. It captures the weight without needing to explain it. Beautifully done, my friend. And amen to your comment. Me either! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Katie this hits where advertisers promote, politicians plea, the media fires us up and our neighbors expect what is more than good for us. It drives the economy it sells and it smells. Be what we are not what society expects and wants. A lovely write
