A Taste of You
sorenbarrett said:
This poem captures the imagination and pulls it to dark reaches. A sacrament the very idea shakes the soul when thought about. A romantic cannibalism of love. Yet is this not all religion where we worship our love making them our \'God. We eat their flesh and drink their blood with each kiss. A fave

A Mind Remiss
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Katie, there’s a gentle ache in this that lingers. The scattered rhythm mirrors the mind you describe…then that puddle image pulls everything inward. By the time we reach “This frothy chest,” it feels like you’ve exposed something tender but resilient. Strong, honest piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It is amazing where you find things, and even more amazing is how they got there in the first place.
I myself blame the little people, but they say its got nothing to do with them.

There is a feeling of deterioration in this poem but despite the exterior rot inside there remains a human heart. This is sad and yet hopeful

Time- a hole
We breathe into
Never to return
for me this is the heart and soul of the poem, the essential lines, the phrase that burns away the rest---just my opinion, of course. I wish you well.

Katie, this reads like a philosophical pause. The questions about buying time and whether it moves at all build toward that final, hollow image. “Time… a hole we breathe into” reframes everything that came before it. Quiet, reflective, and piercing. Wonderful job!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A most philosophical write Katie and one that I have written on before on many occasions. I have come to wonder it if exists at all or is just an illusion.

Like A River After Rain
Vipassana said:
Frustration rose like a river after rain
If only the thick river knew my name
It does know your name--as you say, it is Frustration.
I wish you well.

Born to Life
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Katie, this holds life and death in the same open palm. The spare structure makes each image land harder…especially the storm abating and the simple return to “Born to life.” It feels cyclical, reflective, and gently resolute. Beautifully restrained. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It takes observation then thought to realize that life is in all. A lovely poem Katie

Excellent job, Katie! This poem holds suffering and gratitude in the same breath. Scarcity, endurance, and the reclaiming of agency unfold without spectacle. Framing homelessness through gratitude rather than pity gives the piece its strength. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your poem expresses endurance through suffering—both physical and emotional—while reflecting on how fleeting peace can be. It’s written in a broken, almost breathless rhythm, mirroring the heaviness of carrying sorrow. May your burdens lighten

My friend, this is devastatingly beautiful. The repetition carries grief the way waves carry weight…persistent, inescapable, and aching with love that never resolves. It stayed with me immediately. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

A beautiful poem that uses a metaphor so well. This poem although intended for mother and daughter can be taken in other ways as well and is more universal than one might initially think. Very nice Katie
