My Own True Friend
sorenbarrett said:
Very nicely composed it also speaks a truth of mastering the inside to gain control of the outer part. There are parts of this poem that speak of uncertainty and confusion of misdirection and a desire to quit but in the end it is resolved with the understanding that in mastering oneself there is not only hope but the ability to go on. Well done

My Own True Friend
Friendship said:
Well written, the poem revolves around self-acceptance and the journey toward self-compassion. It explores the struggle with self-criticism, the quest for external validation, and the eventual realization that embracing one\'s imperfections is essential to finding inner peace. The subject matter reflects personal growth, healing, and the complex relationship we have with ourselves, emphasizing that progress is often quiet and gradual rather than dramatic.

Progress

Loving oneself a theme of this poem. Such a misunderstood concept. Such love is more knowing and accepting than selfish narcissism and a prerequisite to loving anyone else. A lovely write

Happy Birthday, Melissa
Bella Shepard said:
Your poem, so lovingly written, speaks to celebration of a newly found connection that deserves celebration. My husband was adopted at birth, and never knew his biological parents. However, fate was kind to him, and at the age of 65 he was reunited with his birth father who was 88 at the time. We shared 12 wonderful years with him, before he died at age 100. I\'m so glad that fate was kind to you and Melissa. Wishing you many wonderful years getting to know each other.

The Ballad of the Dragon\'s Envy and the Water Bear\'s Grin
sorenbarrett said:
I love how you have welded reality and myth to illustrate the unbelievable qualities of one of nature\'s wonders. It seems to defy reason but is one of the most resilient life forms. Well rhymed and in good verse it tells its story in a fairytale fashion. Nicely done

Toxic Persistence
sorenbarrett said:
Most all things start small and here in this treaties of poetic line it develops into a nightmare beyond proportion. Fully laid out in minute detail this write describes a terrible situation to be avoided from the beginning.

Do You Mind?
sorenbarrett said:
I loved this poem that like all poems are so personal and intimate it reveals itself slowly, seductively and in a first person voice. It speaks to the reader in shyness and humility. Such a great personification of a piece of writing. Absolutely lovely a fave

Bonfires at the Edge of Fear
sorenbarrett said:
We are all marked by our past. This poem is haunting, a bit dark, powerful and echoes of those that are no longer here can be heard in the crackling of the flames, their whispers call out from the shadows of the night. A most lovely and wistful poem edged with a bit of trepidation.
