Lucky I read that again, I was completely of coarse!

Her theology.
sorenbarrett said:

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

Christmas a passion play

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…

Still life with deity.
Paul Bell said:

What a great morning image, especially the cigarette in the ashtray we all grew up with.

Still life with deity.
sorenbarrett said:

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

Story of the self.
sorenbarrett said:

From dog to cat to rat being all things a mind provoking poem that poses the thought that all things serve their purpose. Nicely done

Nature
sorenbarrett said:

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

start over new moon
sorenbarrett said:

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

A series of overlayed images painted in words and beneath a series of overlayed meanings embedded in words. Nicely done
