pose!
Thomas W Case said:
This feels like being inside the performer’s skull mid-spotlight—raw, pressured, and beautifully disorienting. I love how the commands fracture the self, how identity becomes a pose you’re forced to hold. The ending question hits hard and honest. Strong, contemporary, and unafraid.

Smile! The word that always killed me in picture taking. A false front for others to see. A lovely poem of putting one\'s best foot forward and putting on that facade smile that tells everyone that there is a mask there. Well done

A bottle bought means a price paid and a storm inside becomes twice the price. Blue seems significant. Mood perhaps? A poem most metaphoric indeed. Well done

Your poem \"bottleneck\" explores themes of inner turmoil, emotional conflict, and the anticipation of release. The imagery of the bottle and the storm within it serves as a metaphor for the poet\'s pent-up feelings and struggles. The bottle represents containment while the storm symbolizes the intense emotions that are building up, suggesting a longing for catharsis or resolution.
