The Apple
sorenbarrett said:
I was following fine until I reached the campfire wood. At that point I felt that I had been snaped out of a dream of the classroom into the reality of the camp where the students disappeared and no one was a bout to ask for a piece of the apple brought for the teacher or one that is real at the camp. A mind bending poem. Clever enough and well presented a fave

A great short with a message. Hopefully we our deaths and lives are not measured by monetary value

The paper boat
sorenbarrett said:
There is such deep meaning in so few words. To start with a paper boat on a sea such a comparison as vast as the sea yet as insignificant as a paper boat. Power and weakness, eternal and so short lived, vast and finite, water and wood, womb of life and birth now reincarnate man\'s creation. Beware such simple and to the eye plane writes for they contain deep wisdom it is upon simplicity that complexity emerges. From simple atoms diamonds are made. A fave

The same old lanes
sorenbarrett said:
A good analogy it becomes almost a metaphor. We seem trapped in a matrix where we wander. Nicely framed

The same old lanes
Dog days said:
When I step outside to take a breath—
I realise,
how far this world has come,
while we remained there, still wandering through those same old streets.

The month of spring
sorenbarrett said:
In reading this my thoughts immediately went to a spring that never developed into summer and its warmth. Nicely constructed and executed.

Translation
The month of spring
Has finally arrived,
But you did not come.
And neither was heard,
That earth-shaking
Laughter of yours.

Do you believe Google Translate makes a good translation of both the spirit and meaning of your poem?

A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
sorenbarrett said:
This poem depicts a soul truly alone, where no one cares enough to be near, or even give instruction. Deserted and unimportant to all, disregarded. It is cold and sterile in its grime. Nicely done in a raw manner a fave

You and Me
sorenbarrett said:
They say one of the features that sets poetry aside from prose is compression. This poem does just that and in a clever way makes its point with metaphor as well. Nicely done

It seems you always have to pay the piper.
Probably why all bad news comes at four in the morning.

The Phone

Here the message holds a question, is it the lack of money, or the question of whether it is worth putting money on something not used. A hanging question for the author and reader. Nicely done

So simple, so innocent and the same innocent simplicity is echoed in its rhyme that compliments it so well. Very nice and a fave

The Daunt
sorenbarrett said:
Like a still photo this poem captures that pause in time where being struck by someone or something leaves one speechless. It is as if time pauses. Well done.

The Monsters
Doggerel Dave said:
Got you, and for my money you are right.
Popped in to your home page and read \"I am a 19 year old who like many don\'t really understand the world but pretends to do so\" I like this very much, and would advise you to keep asking the right questions...
Ps: I\'m Dave, no Mr.

The outside world in your head can be a crazy place, the inside to some can be the same.
The good thing is,99.9 % of what you think is going to happen never does.
The proof is in the pudding.

I
sorenbarrett said:
The waves of emotion that come and go from love to hate. Yes the I is our only reference point making us a self centered and narcissistic being unable to see from the outside. Nicely done.

The tree
sorenbarrett said:
Some look at a tree and look for what is behind it. Some see wood for construction and art, some profit, others an ornament for their lawn. How many really see a living thing with a life span longer than ours that gives us oxygen to breath, that communicates and cooperates with its brethren, provides a home for birds and shade for the weary. A teller of stories in its rings. Some that provide medicine. So many things in a tree and a lovely write in so few rhyming words very nicely done. A fave

Recently I came across a reel where a girl of a certain skin color was being trolled for merely saying she feels confident in her skin and even beautiful. I am of the opinion that we should see people, a step away from our narrow conditioned view of beauty and ugliness, and take on how nature sees the world; to nature there is no good or bad. We can choose to love each other.

The Monsters
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a damn effective reversal here, because the childhood monsters under the bed slowly become almost comforting once they’re compared with the real dangers waiting beyond the bedroom door. The final “what stood beyond my door / out there in the world” lands hard precisely because nothing supernatural is needed—the real monster is adulthood, and the loss of that childhood illusion of safety.

Yes, the monsters outside sure beat the monsters inside any day.
Mind you, social media is the monster now.
