SHADOWS OF THE PAST
sorenbarrett said:
Shadows is a good term for them darkness obscuring and hiding but still allowing enough vision to be aware. Time has a way of hiding things in shadows diming the vision and distorting the view. Nicely crafted I like the introduction of the ruins and archeology into the poem as metaphor. Well done Durdica

A YELLOW-GRAY WORLD
Paul Bell said:
Ah, the pandemic, when a trip outside was like getting released.
We all began to appreciate nature, and I think before it ended, trees were probably sick of us hugging them.
Does remind you of natures healing qualities.

A YELLOW-GRAY WORLD
Doggerel Dave said:
\'Grey\' undoubtedly did typify the pandemic period, and has left me as I recall an impenetrable fog without significant memories; although you have somehow retrospectivly bought detail to it. I find your picture\'s composition beautiful and real.
One postscript: It was the covid lockdown which sent me scribbling here.
Thanks for the reminder of a now fairly distant twist in my life.

I like some photos in sepia they give an aged feel to the picture and hopefully in this case it can be put behind as merely a memory of the past. Nicely written it speaks of the dingy the depressing and the hard to discern the good from the bad. Nicely done my friend

CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION
Doggerel Dave said:
Spot on. A smooth undeniable argument presented in rich poetry. I felt my spirit rise as I read this, as the constant glorification or at the very least the acceptance of war arouses anger and depression equally.
In no sense competition (our styles are very different), I would like to present to you an old effort of mine on the same topic:

CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION
sorenbarrett said:
There is sadness in this poem Durdica one thinks that one would fight for freedom but those that value peace above all should not be deprived of their freedom the same one that is being fought for. A lovely write

LIFE
sorenbarrett said:
Durdica layered in beautiful imagery this poem deals with the power of life and its uniqueness and individuality, how in our commonality we are all individuals. Very nicely written it carries the reader along to a joyous ending that is a beginning. Lovely my friend and a fave

AUTUMN POEM ABOUT LEAVES
sorenbarrett said:
Color in flying objects that eventually come to the ground. They paint this poem an autumn color and I can feel the wind in its gusts. Nicely done Durdica it casts these leaves as flying analogies each with a feel and meaning. Well done my friend

DREAM-HOUSE

May we all continue to dream for it is upon the foundation of dreams that new hope is erected with doors of acceptance and windows of vision and all are welcome. Nicely written Durdica

OPTIMISM

This poem makes a fine distinction between optimism and naive thought. It\'s positivism is a key to happiness. Nicely done Durdica

Alas I am forced by my situation to view all nuts (of which I eat a considerable quantity) through the veil of thick plastic.
I will try to enrich my experience by reference to your poem here in memory. Thanks for the opportunity.

SAY NO TO ANGER, NO TO HATRED
sorenbarrett said:
A lovely write Durdica I could not agree more. Although I have not yet conquered anger I have no hatred and put things behind me as quickly as they come. It I credit for good health not being sick a day in the past forty five years. (there were days I did not feel good but not sick)

HOUSE OF SILENCE
Doggerel Dave said:
Cheers ! (aided by the product of that place).
I enjoyed the contrasting pictures painted.
You could, of course turned it into a triptych with (me??) all warm and rosy in the corner...😊

A great analogy here, vineyards and grapes a traditional metaphor since biblical times. The images are great Durdica. Nicely done

SOLITUDE AND LONELINESS
Doggerel Dave said:
This clear differentiation between solitude and loneliness demonstrates the positivity and choice you are able to bring to your statement. For the record I too am on the side of solitude, but am at a loss to know how to deal with the lonely who on occasion cross my path. To ‘skip over’ seems just a little too easy somehow.
To be clear I found your anthem to solitude uplifting, so many thanks.

It’s nice when one finds a kindred spirit, or at least someone with similar interests to ourselves.

We are all the same but different at the same time. Each of us looks out for ourselves and our needs. Yet we claim to love and be a part of others. A most interesting concept. Well done Durdica

AS IN THE VINEYARD

As a metaphor this is classical in the very least, beautifully rendered with superb imagery and a most haunting poignancy. Fascinating and thought-provoking. Thank you for sharing.

AS IN THE VINEYARD
sorenbarrett said:
A lovely picture whether meant to be metaphor or not it stands against urban demands and speaks for the common man. It is well imaged with pictures I can equate with having been in that vineyard some fifty years ago and tasted the juice of the vine, heard the laughter of the laborers. It took me back. for that involvement a fave my friend

Beautiful and cosmic in nature separated from worldly commotion, born on a dream a twinkle of starlight in a mother\'s eye a child herself. It is a continuation of dreams and generations that flow back to the beginning of time. Good to see you back Durdica a fave

FIRE
Thomas W Case said:
This turns fire into something damn multifaceted—destruction, terror, courage, hatred, and even the possibility of warmth. I especially like the ending, where the same spark that feeds hate can be redirected toward peace.
