Necromancy Sublime
Paul Bell said:
Necromancy, I have to use that word somewhere.
It is coming to that time of the year when the undead make their presence felt, and the living wish they had buried them deeper.
Which all adds up to a gothic supper and bangs in the night.
I\'ll give the graveyard shortcut a miss tonight.

A great song there my friend and totally appropriate for the season. Dark but elevating. It could take off like the monster mash of years ago.

I really like how this poem captures the intensity of self‑reflection. It\'s mirrored phrasing makes the doubts feel like they’re echoing inside the speaker’s head. The mix of Elizabethan language with raw vulnerability gives it a timeless, almost Shakespearean ache. good going for a teen poet! 🕊️🙏

Definitely of a time in your life cycle, Tristan. I (almost) remember those questions myself, though it is doubtful I would have expressed them in such disciplined poetic form.

Your writing is excellent, my friend; you express yourself from the depths of your soul and heart. I firmly believe that we all harbor this feeling perpetually. Well done. Your poem revolves around the struggle for self-identity and the quest for love and connection amidst feelings of loneliness, fear, and self-doubt. The speaker grapples with conflicting emotions, questioning their worth and ability to love and be loved. The subject matter touches on themes of introspection, vulnerability, and the human condition.

A poem that contains questions of value and worth offering to give to others but each offer is followed by another question. It culminates with an offer to leave, whether in space of death is not sure but it carries a feel of sadness with it. Nicely done Tristan

After reading the poem I ask myself- what do the critiques do?
I suspect in countless number of times, under the influence of the critiques, many original thoughts have been laid to prematured rest. While the essential aspect of checks and balances can\'t be overlooked, I feel, at times critiques stretch the \'checks\' while they don\'t or can\'t reflect on the \'balance\'. After all, if they could then they would have been original creators and not the critiques.

Wellsaid, my friend. Your poem revolves around the pervasive nature of criticism and its destructive effects. It contrasts the concepts of critique and criticism, suggesting that the former is constructive while the latter is often detrimental.

Beyond yer backyard screamers, many find criticism renumerates nicely - that\'s my critique of Late Capitalism.
Another little sizzler which on account of (but not only) my affection for alliteration made it so enjoyable, Tristan.

There are those that look for the defect and then those that look for the horse under the pile of shit. I would rather associate with the optimist than the pessimist even though I might not agree. A great poem on the state of the critic, the last line. Those that look for every fault would find them in heaven and they are damned by their own attitude.

This feels like they both know it\'s over, but the next step is the most daunting part.
How to actually leave, and can they leave. You can see why houses get split down the middle now.

Levels of alienation and anomie certainly feel higher in me than they did forty years ago - or is that just old age? Whatever, your piece expresses those feelings, especially when I\'m waiting for that bloody bus!
All attempts at jokes aside, this has a strong structure which makes reading a (kind of) pleasure.
Thanks Tristan.

It\'s quite a dark experience when you realize you\'re on your own and nobody will be there for you to save you from doom...I\'m sure we all feel like we\'ve \"missed the bus\" and are behind compared to others.

Not to worry my friend there will be the next bus. There is a feeling of despair in this poem a darkness that pervades doom. So many times I have missed the bus that I arrive early to find that the bus is delayed or broke down. A most poetic write of feelings many carry. Nicely done my friend

Wow, so many feels in this. Well written, my friend, your poem revolves around feelings of despair, disillusionment, and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world. The repeated questioning, \"What is left for us?\" and \"Does anyone care?\" highlights a sense of abandonment and existential angst. The poem reflects on the futility of existence, implying that life can feel like a trap or a cycle of repetitive suffering, as demonstrated by phrases like \"Life\'s an evil stare\" and \"Are we caught unaware?\" The subject matter touches on themes of loss, resignation, and the struggle to find purpose amidst chaos.

Devilishly Dreadful: The Flames of Betrayal
sorenbarrett said:
An old story of betrayal of the most sacred, Love. An allegory as well of all cases of deceit in a relationship. Instead of the fires of hell he suffers the literal fires of the eternal flame as she murders him and burns the evidence. The repeating lines emphasize the passion of love and the flames or burning guilt and shame. It is interesting that it is cast in black and white good and evil no middle ground here. A wonderful write my friend.

Your poem revolves around betrayal, love, and the quest for freedom. It explores the complexities of a relationship steeped in racial and social dynamics, illustrating the pain of deceit and the struggle for autonomy. The subject matter focuses on a woman, Ada, who is betrayed by her husband and confronts the harsh realities of her identity as a Black woman in a society that seeks to commodify her.
