The Game
sorenbarrett said:
The greatest game on earth that of life. How could a game be designed with better precision where the contestant is not told the rules not even told it is a game and the clock is started racing against it without knowing how much time one has. Not knowing if one is playing against others as a teammate of others, who is on one\'s side or not. Not knowing the objective or what is permissible to obtain it. And in the end one gets to take nothing home. Well maybe bragging rights. Loved it a fave

Vibrations 2

All is waves some disrupted by vibrations and deflections. Fields of force gravity, electric, magnetic some say love and where does entropy fall

Retired
sorenbarrett said:
A poem of single worded lines that seem to set the stage for retirement. A word that once meant taking it easy but in a modern generation of avarice means doing something different. No longer working the factory line shut down by automation one bags groceries until ninety. Nicely written

Perfect
sorenbarrett said:
I share those feelings watching the population seduced by a technological siren where TV met social needs, Video games became one\'s best friend, a cell phone promoted gossip that soon turned texting so one would not need to hear a human voice so much more and now AI that one can not distinguish from real Ted Kaczynski was right technology is the demise of humanity no wonder he was kept in solitary confinement.

This reads like a signal-jam poem—fractured, staccato, intentionally abrasive. It sounds like what it’s describing. That’s its biggest strength.

Worlds Apart
sorenbarrett said:
Some things are so different that in their divergence at infinity they converge, parallel lines, a straight line extending to infinity will return to where it began. At the extreme, the extreme right meets the extreme left. At that point never becomes always. A mind provoking poem. Loved it
