Leviathan
sorenbarrett said:

A confession a story of abuse by manipulation of the innocent and dependence upon use redefining pain as familiarity and confinement as home. Well written

A condition splendidly captured. This really validated some of my own hyperfixations with that doom and disgust. Not sure if I should be satisfied or worried that this is something common enough to come across on your page. Farewell and Godspeed. (P.S. Sometimes I wish I\'d gotten the Paralysis Demon. At least I wouldn\'t feel that horrendous dysphoria)

The art of MY existence
sorenbarrett said:

Kintsugi
sorenbarrett said:

A very deep psychological write that peels back the layers of the self and its interaction with others. The push and pulls of personal space and the volatility of emotional expression. Nicely done.

A field Guide to Human-existing
sorenbarrett said:

I love this detached almost scientific warning of a species that should also contain warnings of the species violent and backstabbing fickle nature. How lies are its favorite past time and greed the heart of the species. Nicely done

The Court
sorenbarrett said:

There is something ancient in this poem more than a picture of court but of humanity itself where metaphor opens doors to listening. Is it the very challenge of not understanding that brings one to think about things they would rather not see and hear. That mirror where one can look down upon a fool that seems so nonthreatening and realize that it oneself that is the fool. Nicely written and a fave

Vestiges
sorenbarrett said:

Here the focus on visceral images and familiar sensations leaves a sense of revolt. Nicely pictured and worded it leads one on to further issues and the ending line where it might be better to forget such issues. Well done

Oculi
sorenbarrett said:

We are never seen completely or accurately yet I hear a reticence in this poem to being seen at all. A shyness and timid approach to appearing in public. Nicely written it makes its point.

I have written a few in the past with this same vein and agree with it completely. A good write

Desire unmet in this poem. Nicely written

No Bloom
sorenbarrett said:

Nicely written this poem of beauty speaks of reflected beauty or maybe stolen. Well done
