* Approaches title shakily and nervously*. You know one of us, or both of us, are gonna say this - I thought this poem was gonna be about Popeye, but we can\'t say why! heehee. Don\'t answer that!

Here we have a series of contradictions a colorless glare, sightless growing glow, The pairing of glitter of white a usual symbol of good and beauty is matched with demons. This opposition indicates turmoil and conflict to me. Yes the question is why. A wonderful write my friend

Well written. I relate to this. Your poem explores the paradox of isolation and the emotional turmoil it causes. The imagery of snowflakes and a \"sea of glitter white\" suggests beauty but contrasts with feelings of emptiness and the presence of \"guarded ghosts\" and \"defiant demons.\" The poet reflects a struggle with loneliness, the invisible barriers that block connection, and questions why such isolation exists. You speak from the heart.

OMG, well done, my friend, so true.🤣😂 Your poem revolves around the notion of disillusionment with people who are perceived as insincere or hypocritical. The poet expresses disdain for individuals who contribute to societal negativity and superficiality. The subject matter highlights the frustration with \"shitty people\" and their impact on the world, suggesting a broader commentary on human nature and societal values.🤣👍❤️

Is it not so that some find in organizations, religious or otherwise, a legitimization of their nature. The violent find it in so called justice, the thief in retribution, the liar justifies, the murderer seeks war. And from that pulpit we preach to cover our sins now turned commandments. Well done Tristan

Your poem is powerful and evocative, utilizing strong, emotive language to convey themes of conflict and hypocrisy. Words such as \"hell,\" \"ignorance,\" \"ruination,\" and \"anathema\" evoke a sense of struggle and darkness. Literary devices employed include.

Well said. My friend. Your poem addresses the burdens of ambition, the fear of failure, and the societal pressures to succeed. It critiques the disparity between those who have privilege (symbolized by \"wings\") and those who struggle, asking when true justice and equity will be achieved.

Quite the gothic tale Tristan that wends its way through history and an old edifice. Set in narrative style it unveils relics of the past and mysteries of past cerimonies. Lilith the fabled first mate of Adam comes into play the seductress. Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian goddess demon that refused to become subservient to Adam left Eden never to return she contained the souls of prepubescent children that died before they could reproduce. She coupled with Samael the demon. A lovely nonbiblical addition to this hall of pre-Christian signs and wonders and was blended in as time went on as all pre-Christian myths were blended into Christianity. So well set in a Christmas tale where Christmas itself is pagan built around a Christian myth. Well done my friend

This poem is undoubtedly masterfully crafted, albeit with a dark undertone. Considering the early hour, I required two readings to fully grasp its intricacies, which I ultimately did. The articulation is indeed impressive, my friend. The poem delves into the themes of faith, community, and possibly betrayal or corruption within a religious framework. It commences with an inviting summons to a feast led by Jesus, symbolizing the camaraderie and affection that exist among adherents. Nonetheless, as the poem unfolds, the tone transitions to one of disillusionment and obscurity, implying that the true essence of the gathering might not align with the initial jubilant invitation. The recurring references to being \'fattened up like children\' and the mention of \'Lilith, not Jesus\' signify a critique of religious practices and the potential for exploitation within religious institutions.
