Cheeky Missy said:
Dang it! Leave me trapped in your hellish nightmare, will you?! My la! As if my hours sleeping or waking weren\'t labeled as nightmares anyway, now you leave me clutching my collar as if the poison will yet slip through and eat my skin off me while I stand. Gorgeously rendered with consonance and alliteration and all those fun effects of the trade until I don\'t know where to begin, chockful of imagery to die for, the poignancy is what eats me alive. Thank you for sharing.

Gothic indeed and dark. A good choice of images to present the story. Well written in a unique style. Very nicely done

It would seem that every community would have at least one such house! And growing up we had our share of scares and dares revolving around such places. The effect on me at this time/reading is like a time travel poetry 🙏🏻🕊

I am not a believer in any faith buti can understand this write and the confusion that after having faith you are no better off in any way, my main question has always been, how can a god take all the praise for all the good but not accept responsibility at all for any of the bad, very interesting and thought provoking write

A fine write T. \'LORD\' in capitals is, I believe, because Jews considered God\'s names of \'Jehovah\' or \'Yahweh\' or \'Yhwh\' too holy to even say.
The verses you mention occur in Job in the Old Testament, but thankfully we don\'t all experience severe trials as Job did. It also can crop up at Funeral Services.

Call This What You Will, I Call It Misogyny
Cheeky Missy said:
Alas, what a depiction of manhood! Coming myself from a close-knit family unit with both loving father and no less than six brothers, this slap in the face of such would leave me reeling, except I dabbled in the latter, individuals who thought it worthwhile to measure worth by the size of a certain member and wild tales of the opposite sex. Rendered exceptionally with superb imagery and an intriguing, yet hard-hitting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

So right to call this out but unlikely those who are guilty will read it, this is a huge area from social media that is telling and grooming young boys and men this is how we should talk to and treat woman and girls, they are growing up thinking this is normal I would also add parent\'s should be doing more themselves, by setting positive examples, correction when heard or seen and spending time with their kids,so they are not on the net all the time, sad but important write

Must respond. Well said. That dickheadery remains pervasive, I understand on social media and certainly in other quarters too.
Really glad I don’t have daughters.
PS: Sorry, but the “we\" doesn’t help, however what to do beyond speaking up when I am able and feel it appropriate. This needs a wider and deep discussion.
In the meantime: Right on, Tristan.

A noble poem for those that are least likely to read it, a message for those that are deaf to its meaning or intent. No more parents to plant compassion in children\'s hearts, no more restraint taught. A great poem that is needed to be heard. For the message itself a fave but even more for the creativity in which it was said

A clever write! Kind of a cross between haiku and senryu, involving both nature and emotions. Nice one!

But those were the most inspiring images the catalogues used annually for these seasons of transition, a lonely soul in the café, looking out nowhere in particular, just searching the busy, heedless world beyond the window for that unknown something which must surely satisfy. [If only my reply were poetic I\'d be good to go, haha!] Winsomely rendered in hauntingly poignant brevity with excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing.

I love a good cozy cafe, sometimes being alone is refreshing. I like being alone but surrounded by strangers. You\'re alone but not alone; the beauty of the Anthropocene.

Such a senryu I always love when I read something that touches me and I can\'t identify why. Such is the case with this write Tristan. It reaches out of the darkness to the light and with a sense of sadness touches the ethereal.

I always found the Queen in Alice and Wonderland really scary. She is just as scary in your poem Tristan. The tea and scones sound delightful though. Loved the references to Alice in Wonderland. Have a happy Thursday dear poet.

Hmm. Thinkest thou so, dear friend? What haunts every single reading of this superbly rendered history lesson is the burning, burning of the arts...for it is merely a foretaste of the promised end. As for those in power whom some of the populace cry against and others cherish, we have no record of that world obliterated in the flood, yet apparently are in headlong pursuit of reattaining the same. Food for thought, no? Thank you for sharing your expertise. Expertly rendered with excellent imagery and a fitly haunting poignancy. Thank you again.

Alice in the netherworld. Even my squirrels are polite to traffic since I begged them to be careful after seeing a squashed one. Ah, Tristan. Charmingly rendered with exquisite imagery and a damning poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
