THE FRACTURED SPEAK
Friendship said:
Well written. Your poem focuses on the complexities of mental health, societal perceptions of trauma, and the importance of understanding the underlying causes of emotional distress rather than simply observing the consequences.

THE FRACTURED SPEAK

No one feels totally understood and this poem makes a point of it. There is a plea for greater understanding not just of acts but intentions. Well written

THE SIXTH DIMENSION OF BLAME
sorenbarrett said:
Some great lines here \"a mirror burns\" This poem attacks the common view of blame and responsibility as individual. It is all of our responsibility as a society so nicely expressed as a web. I love the philosophy of this write and for that alone it gets a fave and if I could give more I would for the lines and language so clearly expressed in poetic form. Very nicely done

THE TOOL AND THE HAND

So well said. If we devoted the money, time and effort to dealing with the problems associated with violence we would not need to worry so much

Ego Death, Softly
sorenbarrett said:
The message is clear that one\'s true self far different than what we present. In Freudian terms the ego or reality part that holds us together and takes control if dissolved leaves that mirthful residue. It seems almost Taoist or Buddhist. Nicely composed

Fireproof Lies
sorenbarrett said:
This poem has a tone of harshness and severity, it is cold and hard and feels old fashioned. Very nicely framed in a format of authority it demands rather than asks it orders and threatens. Well written

Kangaroo Court
sorenbarrett said:
Unfortunate but all to true. Even if innocent lawyer\'s fees, smeared image and time lost. When found guilty worse yet fines, shame and imprisonment. Judged by one\'s peers that are already biased, by a judge worse yet. The uneducated, poor, and marginalized doomed to a system made for the rich and slippery. Nicely written. I don\'t have the answer and it bothers me.

The Script and the Scale
sorenbarrett said:
Having worked with doctors and seen the pharmaceutical reps heard the deals made, eaten their sandwiches and dinners, the paid lectures in exotic places to doctors and their families that sell the most, changing patients medications that work for the newly fabricated with higher profit margins I not only believe it but understand why a perfectly good medicine that has reached its patent end is discontinued. Members of the FDA are not supposed to hold stock in pharmaceutical companies that they rule on but there is nothing about their families of friends holding stock. A fave and a message that needs to reach more ears.

The Tale of the First Tardigrade Guide
sorenbarrett said:
As humans we have been negligent of other life forms seeing them as inferior yet we find that they are not just different than us. We have always had a problem with differences even in our own kind. Well written

The Weight of the Unspoken Dance

It is the body language described in this poem that tells the whole story. And without saying it emotion is created which it is is left up to the reader, is it excitement, sexual tension, anger, annoyance, attraction? Well written

Life is amazing in its resilience and this poem dedicated to one of its forms that can withstand what others can not is a monument to a muse or spirit animal. One does not have to be a giant to be tough.
