A Little Mad
sorenbarrett said:
Madness a matter of degree, yes we all are a little mad most all of the time. Freud said that we are either psychotic or neurotic take your pick. After all what is madness anyway just being too much different from the others. And what of when the majority is unloving, uncaring, selfish, depressed does that mean that to be giving, loving, happy is madness? A lovely write Tristan.

Sometimes the madness in me is what others find interesting and adorable, so I pack it away neat and tidy until it’s called for 🕊🙏🏻

Loved it! It\'s easy to write when an idea floats in on the wings of an angel. But it\'s a big challenge to wrestle back ideas from the devil. You accomplished that with aplomb. Well done 👍

Miss you dreadfully cuz you\'re never absent, and what do you do?! Dredge lines from the refuse of damnation, polish it off like a happy child [like me in grade school when we moved to the Colorado prairies and I first discovered an actual junk yard....oh the junk I brought home like from a ghastly treasure chest, and which my loving mother accepted!], pleased as punch with your prize. Well, well, well. Where I\'ll actually refuse to write until after sunrise, you\'ll eagerly howl at the moon at the witching hour. La dee. Gorgeously rendered with nigh exquisite imagery and a ghastly, macabre poignancy. Thank you for sharing, I\'ve missed you, Tristan.

Not a block nor an impediment but a setback momentary or otherwise…. Which in and of itself is also a subject matter that may be written about in various ways. Love it🕊🙏🏻

Really cool poem! I like the spooky feel and how it shows that even scary moments can spark creativity.

This is so well written, I was engrossed from start to finish. This is nature as it truly is; fierce, ugly and unapologetic as a murder of crows go about their daily business. Well done Tristan. Excellent and then some.
All the best,
Tony.

Aww, these days where it\'s trendy to divorce, what a winner this heartbreaking number is in the field of castoffs. Beautifully rendered with exquisite imagery and a wrenching poignancy, thank you so very much for sharing.

That person has been waiting too long at the bus stop. Someone should have told him/her they changed the route 500 years ago! lol.

Haunting and beautifully descriptive—the imagery is rich, and the twist from eerie mystery to brutal reality is chillingly effective. Well done 🌹

Brought back to mind thousands of knee-high raptors of Jurassic Park, “pecking” and tearing away at hapless larger victims. Excellent atmosphere in this poem! 🕊🙏🏻

A grizzly picture , black the sight and dark the thought. Life that was now passed. Animals we knew going away. We have changed all. A vivid poem with a strong message. Very nicely crafted

Cheeky Missy said:
Terrifying, when you put it that way, downright terrifying. The inherent caustic tone blatently querying owns such pride, as it were, the soul shivers. She took of the tree because it--and thereafter they clothed themselves with fig leaves, whilst hiding from the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. Piercingly rendered with excellent imagery and a killer poignancy.

Always looking at the form of your poems Tristan I was first taken by the horizontal and then vertical read. The dual meaning woven when putting the two together. The question (doubtful of the cursory answer usually given to such a question) Followed by the vertical follow up implied in if you do prove it by admitting remorse. Here the mind falls into weaving out of thin air what the remorse is about. The word sin is introduced and one can take it as betrayal or as involvement with the one speaking. Are you feeling bad for betraying me or conversely do you feel bad about your involvement with me. The duality is a great mix. I may be well off base but this came through to me. Loved the creativity and for that a fave
