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.

Yes, the keyboard warriors will get you, no matter how hard you try to get away.
Probably why they lead a mushroom life, the wee souls.

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.

There\'s cryptic and there\'s cryptic and there\'s Tristan Robert Lange🙃😊Almost inclined to go with Popeye, but don\'t know what that\'s about either. I try not to go \'where angels fear to tread\', but I\'ve still got some vision and still am anxious not to miss your gallery and poetic structures.....

Deeply philosophical this write starts right off with a puzzle and ends with a powerful statement that love won\'t wait. Emotions come and go unlike logic that only slowly erodes with additions to the puzzle with time.

Initially, this format drove me crazy, but I pushed myself to adapt to it. Although I\'m uncertain about the outcome, your poem skillfully explores themes of isolation, existential questioning, and the complexity of human emotions, particularly in the face of suffering and the pursuit of purity. The speaker grapples with feelings of despair and the search for understanding in a world that seems indifferent to their plight.

I felt it was describing how I feel during those extreme emotional short bursts. Some words stretch themselves, finally dissolving into- why were they at all important. I know I got it wrong. But I thought of sharing my unfiltered feeling.
A fave.

If you were confessing impure thoughts to the priest, you would be doing hail Marys till the day\'s end.
Just remember, you can look, but you cannot touch, well, not to you put a ring on a finger.
