This poem takes the seasons of life as matter of fact and is quite dry in delineating its plans. Well done

How it starts.
sorenbarrett said:
Parts of speech like people all take different forms in this poem. A great metaphor it speaks to the reader about the care that must be exercised by us as writers in choosing our friends when writing. Very nicely done

The poem leaves the reader knowing that there were many detours taken. Well done

The original sin.
sorenbarrett said:
This to me is one of you best it carries indications of deeper meaning buried and its images are intriguing with a dark sense of mystery. The second to the last stanza of a butcher wearing a white apron over a dead man\'s snappy gray suit tells me a lot. Cosmetic cover ups as a shield for bloody hands and the gray suit seems very business like and proper. Very nice

Vernal equinox.

Quite the scene set with vivid images. I am not sure of the metaphor here if there is one but it feels very worldly and full of flesh whether it be sex or cadavers

The poem is appealing and can be read on two levels: on the realism of childhood snowy joys and on the other hand on the level of the theme of the transience of human beings, and indeed, the erasure of every trace of existence.

A painter\'s pallet of colors boldly run through this poem. It is vivid and bright most easy to see. The color alone gives it emotion and it shouts fave

There is mort to this than meets the eye. The image is clear, the tone is set, this poem with its image and tone is the letter coming to that mailbox. Its message of death so close. Noon, mid day to be taken with only half half of it left. This poem leaves mixed feelings. Very nicely done

First day of school.

I love the potential implicated meanings in this write. Out of absurdity comes the rational and wisdom from the mouth of fools. It is in contradiction that parallels can be seen. Nicely done

Reminds me of younger days in the playground. Snowballnfights were usually not allowed however but sometimes we could get one going. Lol. Nice write with well choosen words for your imagery and story. Enjoyed very much.

A deep metaphor where a crime was committed and time is erasing the evidence well written

the tao
sorenbarrett said:
It is in absence that everything resides. White is the absence of color and in the color of light it contains all colors, in circles is perfection the never ending, And on it goes line by line until the end where the empty chair displays that in the emptiness all things reside it is the space within the vessel that contains its utility. Nicely written

A most mind provoking poem that is enigmatic and a puzzle. Well done.

Oh I like this one very much...very much indeed. The pairing of window with bottle is ingenious and the metaphoric implications are multiple. Every once in a while someone writes something that you wish you had written yourself and this is one. This is a definite fave

An interesting poem that leaves the question how well do we know anyone and even how well do we know ourselves. It is haunting

The goat and I, a fable.
sorenbarrett said:
There is something charming and magnetic about the eccentricity in this poem. It holds a jewel of greater importance in its message. In being who one is there is purpose and meaning. All will not understand or even like you but that itself is of little meaning. Meaning takes all forms, different at different times. Lovely and a fave

A very thoughtful write. Vivid imagination is an understatement surreal but behind it all I see Salvador biding his time watching the watch as the hours go by. Very nicely written.

History professors really should be eaten by sharks.

Society and Mindfulness
sorenbarrett said:
All is a matter of perception and what we have grown accustomed to over the years. Shape is one dimension what if the sounds of these items were reversed or their size or longevity. A great write

Every moment follows something. A most interesting write that seems at first experiential then tangential and finally philosophical. Well done
