The wrath.
sorenbarrett said:

Although it seems meant for more literal interpretation I take as fear of fear itself. Nicely written

The Magician.
sorenbarrett said:

A metaphor in this poem and a secret to consuming and expelling dark forces. Well written in good rhyme and meter. Loved it

Nuclear spark.
sorenbarrett said:

A most interesting poem. Where as in western civilization the snake is seen as sinister in other cultures it is seen as wise and powerful often depicted as a god. Nicely written

The Rising Phoenix!
sorenbarrett said:

So identifiable the musings and reflections of the mind are like a mirrored room on all sides ceiling and floor with endless reflections leading to infinity on all sides. A good read

In stillness.
sorenbarrett said:

There needs to be quiet and a stillness to hear the whispers of the inner self. A lovely poem of listening in the dark. Well done

Icarus!
sorenbarrett said:

A poem of high dreams and expectations that cost too much but left one with memories of a life lived. A very nice piece of work

December 5th, 2025 05:24

I am!

Motivational this poem becomes a chant, a war cry. Nicely written with good meter and flow that give it its power. Well done

God is.
orchidee said:

Good write A. I\'m getting greedy. lol. I want infinite riches, and riches beyond infinity! Someone contributed but handed me a dodgy 9 bob note! In UK there was a 10 bob note(10 shillings, half of a UK £1) years ago, but not a 9 bob note.

God is.
sorenbarrett said:

Infinity plus infinity is no more than infinity itself. Well done a good read

The knots.
sorenbarrett said:

Clever word play make this poem the use of homophones works well. A knotty not it is indeed. Good advise as well in this prayer or supplication. Loved it a fave

The knots.
orchidee said:

Good write A. I\'m not saying this is not a good poem, cos it is! You got me at it now - those \'nots\'. lol.
Heehee there\'s the confusion of using double negatives, e.g. I\'ve not got nothing - meaning I have got something. lol.

Part of my story.
sorenbarrett said:

Circles in this poem whether life or relationships all things go in circles where the end is the beginning. Nicely written with good rhyme and a sense of fun as well as romanticism in it. Lovely

Love thy will.
Paul Bell said:

Not enough love kicking around at the moment, the doom and gloom people are on overtime to bring us down.
They should read your poem for enlightenment.

Love thy will.
sorenbarrett said:

So well worded it calls out to the reader. Its antithesis lies in Alister Crowley\'s words \"There is no law, do what thou wilt\" \"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law\" A wonderful write and a fave

November 26th, 2025 06:27

Gods great work!
sorenbarrett said:

There is a clear pledge of love in this poem and a declaration of dedication. Nicely written

November 25th, 2025 04:10

Love is blessed.
Demar Desu said:

How does one love oneself?

Love is blessed.
PerditaRose said:

At first I thought this was for a lover, now I\'m thinking it\'s for a newborn child. It\'s beautiful.

November 23rd, 2025 06:22

Love is blessed.
sorenbarrett said:

A truth spoken in poetic form. One can not give what one does not have and to love others one must love themselves. Nicely stated

A poem of religious dedication and poetic pledge. Well done

To Father.
sorenbarrett said:

There seems a play her on the word father as in one\'s father or God. This carries through the poem and gives it a sense of humor so to speak. Well done

November 21st, 2025 14:32

To the core.
sorenbarrett said:

A wonderful poem. How strong is a rock? Does it strike back? It without desire harms the hand of who strikes it. Stoic is good

sorenbarrett said:

A good deal of thought went into this poem. It holds and broadcasts a secret of the universe well kept and hidden behind what seems to be opposites but in reality is unity. A lovely write and a fave

November 18th, 2025 05:44

No resentment.
sorenbarrett said:

Expectations are premeditated resentments.\" a great line that has more truth in it than most would care to say. A lovely poem with a great message
