The Catch
Friendship said:
Your poem \"The Catch\" revolves around the unexpected outcomes and consequences of our actions, particularly as they relate to relationships and intimacy. The subject matter touches upon the complexities of desire, connection, and the ethical implications of entrapment, be it physical or emotional. The imagery of fishing serves as a metaphor for the pursuit of love or connection, while the notion of an unintended catch hints at the surprise and potential regret that can accompany such encounters.

I\'m gonna rave in me sheltered life, and say/sing things like Hey, Whoa, Yippee, Yahoo, WooHoo, etc. Steady on there, says Fido to me. LOL.

the poem \"Sea of Dreams\" revolves around the themes of life, death, and the cyclical nature of existence. It explores the journey toward acceptance of mortality, suggesting that one must confront death to appreciate life fully. The poet combines vivid imagery, rich language, and a structured format to explore profound themes of life and death, encouraging readers to engage with their own understanding of mortality and existence.

The Storm
Tony Grannell said:
In the midst of the maelstrom the fleeing poet meets his end in a mess of anger - the storm within himself. A profound passage of poetry, has a swiftness to it, enhancing the protagonist flight from danger and that anger that still rages on. Excellent! Very well done, Tristan.
Fond regards,
Tony.

I got in a huff about some hymns / choruses containing words like \'Hey\' and \'Whoa\' - far too \'common\' for middle to upper class folk! heehee.
The sort of things Popeye says? lol.

Love the poem, love the song, love the video and love the voice. Four loves, what more can I say, my friend.
You are keeping well, I trust,
Tony.

Loved it the video really brought the song to life, I find it slightly dark and haunting but at the same time touching and beautiful, fantastic

Cheeky Missy said:
I guess the funniest part to me is that both my parents were dreamers, yielding the world no less than seven dreamers to carry on the torch, yet I never considered that death played an integral role in the whole affair. I mean, I guess it was the death of the lives they\'d been raised to live, yet after that I flounder. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Your song/poem carries a haunting sense of invitation—offering both comfort and eerie surrender. Freaky Friday was one of our childhood favourites....🕊️🙏🏻

I jumped off a cliff (did I?) then rebounded up again. Someone had put a giant bouncy castle at the foot of the cliff! LOL.
Ohh, eat some spinach - you\'ll feel better. :)

I feel a film reel unwinding in fits and starts, like an old engine running steadily. Different, striking images keep me from resting, and I start the next line again. Thank you so much for sharing. Best regards.

Wow, my 15-year old self wrote mostly like a 12-year old inebriated on Kool Aid, man! I was scratching my head attempting to reconstruct the lost bits of my early poems just a few hours ago. 🕊️🙏🏻

I like your writing .. I think that sometimes life can feel so horrible and painful ( and go through awful things .. ( I have )
That it can feel like bad weather .. and we don’t see things get better ( even tho they might be going to )
I like the rhyming in this nice flow to your words
I like the idea of relating weather to emotions or life

Daffinateley overthinking at age 15, Tristan. With age comes wisdom (or so I\'m led to believe - though sometimes I find that hard to accept) and to prove it - you\'re here!☺️
Top notch rhymery, BTW👍

sorenbarrett said:
Whether intended or not metaphor comes through strong to me. Life is a storm and there are dead ends it appears amidst threats. Sometimes it seems easier to end life than to face its perils. I love the way you left this question hanging and so the reader too is left hanging on this question. A lovely write for such a young age.

Travelling through the storm of of life up to that point, how anger when not managed can lead you into some troubled weather, glad the weather got better in the end, enjoyed the read

It Shant Be In Vain

Can\'t tell me a thing about flies that as a resident of Australia I don\'t know already. Though to be absolutely, utterly honest, as more specifically a resident of Sydney, not even the bloody flies can find an affordable square inch.....
PS: Integration of picture and verse ain\'t so\' bad\' ya know.....

A bug punctuates the penultimate line of your poem with its life - what a way to go and certainly not in vain. Forever in your poem, a fine resting place indeed - hahaha! Well done, Tristan.
All the best,
Tony.

publication is exceedingly difficult, and, though I haven\'t attempted to publish anything if my own, I\'m sure rejection must sting. another reason why I love this site, though; you don\'t need a fancy publisher... just you and your work, and that\'s beautiful. it\'s also such a blessing to have others read your work and enjoy it. enjoyed the read! a fave, as well.
