Career
sorenbarrett said:

So short but communicates so much. Work is nature\'s and society\'s way of making one subservient to demands. A most lovely write

Sounds of life
sorenbarrett said:

Familiar sounds that reassure the noises of comfort and joy. A lovely write about how sounds are so reassuring and make one at home. Lovely

Things to be grateful for
Doggerel Dave said:

You are moody in the poem, and then sunshine in your comments; which are yer? LOL

Things to be grateful for
sorenbarrett said:

It is all in a point of view that mood forms. Nicely written and so identifiable. Assuming that all things happen for the best keeps my attitude on track.

Depersonalization
sorenbarrett said:

There was a time that I identified with that sentiment, then I grew older and all vanity went away. It is the defects that give character to a person or any object of value. My poem today is coincidentally about just that. This poem capitalizes on rhyme and meter to emphasize the point and is a fave

Snot that bad - I blow my nose regularly ...

Depersonalization
Caring dove said:

Yeah I’m sure it is hard to get older . But I can relate to the looking in the mirror and sometimes not seeing me .. sometimes I experience that or feel like a stranger is staring back at me but maybe that’s partly my dissociation

Straws
sorenbarrett said:

To draw the short straw has always had a set meaning and here in this poem the straws are getting shorter.

To put myself together
sorenbarrett said:

So nice bits and pieces of all that different people have of good. Picked and chosen borrowed to make yourself better. A lovely write

What is love?
sorenbarrett said:

A pet peeve of mine the definition of love in the English language. It is used for everything from passion to a favorite object. Love to me is far deeper it is that way we look at someone that means more than words and a lasting feeling that does not die even when we can not live with them anymore it is eternal. A wonderful write

What is love?
Lorenz said:

Useless question relative to some animal sensations...

What is love?
Demar Desu - 德马尔·德苏 said:

OH BABY DON\'T HURT ME! DON\'T HURT ME! NO MORE! --- lol all jokes aside great poem sometimes I question what love is all the time, even when my partner asks me if I love them, and I do not know, I still say I do because even if in that moment I may not feel love I know I have it.. idk if that makes sense. I like your poem though, it brings up love in experiences... I use to just enjoy love for living but these days i\'m tired A. Anyways yeah great poem

Guess the feeling
Demar Desu - 德马尔·德苏 said:

anxiety, is my guess? or maybe depression... either way great poem A

Guess the feeling
sorenbarrett said:

So much that seems out of our control now days and we see it coming but there is little that can be done to stop it. Harrowing.

Hate in the house
HerTime said:

Two people talking at different wavelengths, never quite hearing the other. Very well written!

Hate in the house
Doggerel Dave said:

Disputes of this kind take a terrible toll on the kids - they love both parents...and...
Should a divorce ensue, it is still possible to have a harmonious open relationship (I’ve witnessed it). However this takes two people of intelligence and openness with the ability to negotiate through their arrangements with respect to child care… Now these are qualities not possessed by everyone and fuckwits get married or have relationships all the time.

Hate in the house
Poetic Licence said:

It is a very messy and painful experience however hard you try for it not to be, especially for the children. In situations like this we the adults often think the children are ok and they will adjust to all the changes, but that is not always the case. Well penned and expressed

Hate in the house
sorenbarrett said:

There are two sides to every story yet each can only see their own. Nicely written

When we don’t try
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Allie, this feels raw and unfiltered…like a list of small defeats that stack into something heavy. There’s no glamorizing it. And “Putting in effort is getting really really tough” lands with honest exhaustion. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

When we don’t try
Paul Bell said:

21st century life sure is brutal, everyday changes for the worse.
Will it get any better. Doubt it.

When we don’t try
sorenbarrett said:

This paints a clear picture of that malaise that we fall into letting ourselves go and eventually sinking into depression. Where is the meaning in life? Nicely written with great rhyme and flow it takes me with it down the drain of motivation. Nicely inked

Loss of a child
Doggerel Dave said:

Shouldn\'t be too much for anyone - the pain is palpable..better anyone likely to qualify for that experience sees the possibility and prepares themselves.

The day the sun didn’t rise
sorenbarrett said:

Clever and cute it\'s personification of the sun gives it a storybook feel. Should the sun go away we wouldn\'t know for eight minutes, the time it takes light and gravity from it to reach us. At which point we would fly out of orbit and freeze. A fun read

The day the sun didn’t rise
Demar Desu - 德马尔·德苏 said:

I promise to make amends! Come back sun i love you!!! Oh wait… sometimes I get to immersed in the poem 😅😅

Loss of a child
sorenbarrett said:

This does what is the heart of poetry evoking emotion. A fave

What ever can we do?
sorenbarrett said:

Life is a battle and we don\'t always win. A great writ cleverly done

Mr. Unknown
Doggerel Dave said:

This turned up on one of those tails to something else...
So after all that how are you faring?
Many moons ago I explored this general topic... Hopefully only part is relevant to you:

Personality of a butterfly
sorenbarrett said:

This is a well imaged poem of one of nature\'s creations. A good write

Change into what? Your running shoes (or whatever they are called.?.) Anyway, objective first.......................................🙃
