The meaning of a mirror
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Marissa, I’ve felt that kind of internal push before…where you’re trying to get something out of yourself that just won’t come easy. That back-and-forth comes through clearly here. And yes, mirrors do. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Here comes the rooster
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Marissa, this carries that collision between a synthetic world and something real trying to break through it…that sun, that sound, that final image of the quill. It feels like creation pulled straight out of pressure and distortion. It’s raw, vivid, and grounded in something true. Strong write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I love the cryptic nature of this poem where metaphor is layered and meaning is almost apparent but not quite. We live in a false world of plastic whether objects or people and in this world even the pen is a combination of the real and the false. Very nicely written and a fave

Eve’s perspective
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Marissa, this really lands…you’re not just retelling Eve, you’re challenging how she’s been remembered. Especially with that line about no one praying for her—it shifts everything. And honestly, I’ve wrestled with that too…Adam was the one directly told, and still chose. Yet, Eve carries the blame? I think not...not in my humble opinion, anyway. I’m glad you brought that tension into the light. This is a powerful write...let alone a much needed perspective...my friend. Very much a personal fave! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Eve’s perspective
sorenbarrett said:
A poem that addresses the male dominance in the Christian church with God as male, most all the prophets, the priesthood only available to men, women blamed for the fall but what of the mother of God. History has not been kind to women but wise women have always known how to rule.

A boy “loves” you
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Marissa, I’ve seen how voices can linger…how they echo long after the person is gone. The way you frame that struggle…trying to reclaim self from someone else’s imprint…that’s real, and you speak it plainly. Powerful piece, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A boy “loves” you
Vipassana said:
Life,hidden by the noise
If this is what means to be boys
I will always need some hoist
For me that\'s the heart and soul of the poem.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Marissa, that idea you mention about trauma looping through generations is something many people wrestle with. Your poem captures that tension well…acknowledging what was passed down while still pointing toward the possibility of choosing a different path. That honesty gives the piece real weight. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Childhood Chained Coward
Tristan Robert Lange said:
“The questions i ask-when you slam the door” is the hinge for me. That image of the door in your face captures rejection and power imbalance in one motion. Then “you damned apparition” turns the person into something haunting and draining. Strong poem, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The journey of the plant
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Marissa, this feels like a turning point on paper/screen…raw, reflective, and determined. The metaphor carries the emotion clearly without overcomplicating it. And that final line, “I know in time and nourishment, i will live in high vibration.”, feels hopeful and earned. Wonderful job, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The journey of the plant
Friendship said:
Nicely written. Your poem explores the growth and nourishment of thoughts and ideas through the metaphor of a plant\'s journey. The central idea revolves around the necessity of proper care—whether it be through water (inspiration) or soil (environment)—for both plants and thoughts to thrive. It emphasizes the importance of seeking better conditions for growth and the inevitability of change when one is in a stifling or detrimental environment.

nice to turn your face towards the sunshine, but remember that too much of it, and there is the possibility of being burnt, so beware...

marissa, this comes in hot and unapologetic. There’s no hesitation in the voice…it stands its ground. “My tongue is sacred i speak upon what i mean” feels like a declaration, not a defense. The conviction is clear. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
