Time Doesn\'t Flow Backwards
sorenbarrett said:
This poem speaks of sadness and division of loss and pain. It speaks of the past and the present and how they differ. It holds many feelings that are regrettable. A scattering of emotions fill the page. Where do we go from here? is the question left in the reader\'s mind. The lack of resolution leaves tension and if this is intended it does it well.

My Daughter
sorenbarrett said:
A poem that with its imperfections leaves a nostalgic feeling of something lost in time. The growth of a child where likewise something is lost in time. The innocence and simplicity of a life where fairytales are real and smiles are free to tears of disappointment and hurt feelings to the eventual death that we all face. This poem contains feelings and that is what poetry is all about to me. A fave

This reads like a conversation with yourself that the reader just happens to overhear. I especially liked how the poem embraces uncertainty rather than trying to resolve it.

Inside each soul resides a poet it only needs to be released. To speak from the heart is poetry. A write of doubt where the spark that glows need more fuel and oxygen to burst into flame and engulf all around it. A most humble and lovely write
