Music
sorenbarrett said:
This is a wonderful poem with good rhyme and meter blending fairytales and music together the only thing lacking in this symphony is percussion. But I\'ll beat the drum for it and give it a fave.

Tacos
sorenbarrett said:
Love Tacos and true Mexican tacos with shredded beef are the best. Many Americans put on lettuce, tomato, cheese, olives, sour cream and although good it is not needed maybe a little jalapeno.

What if I ran away?
sorenbarrett said:
A poem that projects the virtue of nature and rejoining it. A pristine and idyllic quest hardly possible in todays world yet fraught with difficulties as well. The poem\'s dichotomy presents it as black and white well done

Ode to dad
sorenbarrett said:
A write about a father that is seen as inconsistent in words and deeds. A common view that many children share. In this case it has created an opposite approach in parenting. Well written.
