And so it is around the world. A lovely write that sets the mood and tells it as it is.

For the twist and double change in direction in this poem it gets a fave. It made me smile and if one looks deeper into this dark humor one sees an even deeper message in metaphor of that praying fly. Very well done

Here in this poem drama turns metaphor in a melodrama where the fight is thrown. A fun read

Black Moon Lilith
sorenbarrett said:
This poem capitalizes off dark desires of power, subjugation, control that becomes sensual and sexual. It calls out from the cellar of ones dreams. Very visceral. Well worded creepy is a good word. This poem reaches into the recesses of shadow where repulsion meets seduction and horror greets passion. Tapping deep enough into black primitive roots of rule by force. This one rose from revulsion to a fave

song bird’s cage
Soman Ragavan said:
A caged bird has a very sorry life, indeed. It was born to be free but cruel Man keeps it in a cage for the rest of its life. Its chirpings are not seen for what they really are : songs of heartbroken sadness, a longing to be set free…

Each of these elements, colors, images a symbol well placed and a meaning hidden. They all form a whole of destruction and creation, life and death and its resurrection. Very well crafted brilliantly organized a fave

I love the compartmentalization of a thought in each stanza linked together like cars of a train all connected form the poem. Very creative.

Here short lines give a choppy feel as if small waves battering against a pier and the battered wording of bruised and bloodied give the feel of someone that is battle worn and weary. Nicely written
