Paul Bell said:
Yes, the old myth the meek will inherit the earth.
I read the small print, fooled again.
Now the taxman, he really rules the earth.

Gravity Pulls You To Sleep
sorenbarrett said:
A most interesting line \"let gravity pull you to sleep\" this poem contains surreal lines and repeats the one over and over. Nicely done.

My Lady\'s Goodbye
sorenbarrett said:
This poem speaks of unrequited love and its effects on the rejected. It speaks in first person giving it power and winds its way through the love of another that has chosen another and the wishing well of the beloved. Very nicely written in a quaint and old fashioned manner that gives it sweetness while also a sense of darkness. Well done and a fave

Christ, Child
sorenbarrett said:
Under the semblance of wording, if punctuation is not taken carefully into account, seems religious a tender love poem emerges. Well written it speaks of attraction and hesitation out of fear of what might happen. There is tension in this poem and it remains unresolved. Well written a fave
