SLEEP, SLEEP
sorenbarrett said:
Chilling. This poem haunts with what should be warm and secure it instead sends a mixed message of comfort but loss and of a better place but letting go. Death is not to be feared but neither longed for. When this world becomes so cold that death is warmer tis time to leave. A haunting feeling

RAYS OF LOVE / Rayos de amor
sorenbarrett said:
Romantic in its presentation yet lonely in its words it displays the yin and yang of love and its absence. Devoid of one to be loved by and without one to pour love upon it speaks to all, even those that feel they are blessed with a beloved for we are all separated from another no matter how close and long for unity. It may well be that only in merging with the dust of the earth that we will find that place where love is infinite and does begin. Well done

WATERS / AGUAS / 水たち
sorenbarrett said:
There must be a metaphoric meaning to ducks that I am missing for the tears show sadness so laughter does not go well with this. Possibly spiritual growth for with it there can be pain. A lovely write

Nicely said. Your poem explores the transient nature of words and expressions, reflecting on the ephemeral quality of thoughts and emotions. It suggests a sense of loss and emptiness in the act of creation, where the poet grapples with the mortality of stories and the struggle to capture meaning.

MY SPARROWS / MIS GORRIONES
sorenbarrett said:
Such a wonderful symbol of joy and happiness in the birds. Literally a beautiful picture of nature, metaphorically how joy resides all around one if one will only see it. Lovely

Your poem reflects on the gradual fading of life, expressed through the imagery of silence, noise, and air, suggesting a struggle against the passage of time and the ultimate acceptance of mortality. Well done, my friend

DYING EACH DAY
sorenbarrett said:
We seldom think of the truth that we are in a continual process of death with each second one less that we have. This seems to be reflected in this poem of dying. Well written my friend.

FAR FROM EVERYTHING
xTattooingPaperx said:
Ordinary life is quite mundane and can be vulgar at times too. This has a realistic spin to it as metaphors lead the way downward throughout stanzas into a place of love, dreams and poetry. If only there were a yellow brick road, I\'d hop to it. This really drew me to a place of nostalgia, and that is quite difficult for me.
