Reflecting back on this now, l think it adequately speaks to the Russian propaganda program and the way they interminably try to infiltrate any facet of vulnerability it can find...l never posted this because l feared it would go over the heads of the laymen, but then l thought this is the time to react to what's happening....now.more »
I’m with Steve on this one. The issue is in our perceptions, not that love invariably goes 'somewhere,' but that our receptors can come up short and faulty in the detection department. --Love is a good thing and good things never die....people just lose touch with what love represents to them.more »
thank you. I’m not really as proud of this one as some of my contest entries that were barely seen. Sometimes, if it’s the middle of the night or I can't fall asleep, I’ll just see what might come out of me.more »
Not bad. I don't get netflix so not familar with any of this but the other poem, 'Stardust' was alot like this one, in my opinion. also, damn you for your username making that Beatles song get lodged in the bounds of earwormery!more »
Do we have your word that all suspicious/suspected accounts have been removed? Because, (and I cannot be the only one) I have been receiving some 'spammy' comments lately and when following up to ascertain anything about those users, I am finding that they have been at it for a period of time doing the same thing all over the site just to reap the coupon benefits —and as we are seeing , then potentially misappropriate them. I’m seriously thinking these incentive bonuses may be more trouble than they’re worth and am very apprehensive about entering the monthly contest again....any other of the senior users who wish to comment to this and provide you’re opinion --l'm all ears.more »
As Pessoa wrote, “The poet is a man who feigns/And feigns so thoroughly, at last/He manages to feign as pain/The pain he really feels,” “And thus, around its jolting track/There runs, to keep our reason busy,/The circling clockwork train of ours/That men agree to call a heart.”more »
you are one of dozens who seem to not be heeding the site guidelines on commenting.... : Avoid short, spammy comments and strive to contribute to the community's growth. Let's foster an environment where every poet feels valued and inspired. I guess it doesn't matter to folks hungry for incentive bonuses.more »
Nice rap...I’ve actually done this too...not sure if I posted one of those on here but I can see how the honest expression and personal themes could cause a hesitance to share —but this is pretty catchy, though I gather, honest too. Also, I’m either not familiar with a couple of the 'metaphorical' references or perhaps, a couple typos in there? All in all, worth multiple readings. I always say artistry -in any form- serves to heal the one who created it first.more »
I think obscurity is undervalued and something to be appreciated ...what’s really to be said of the 'discovered' ones, when the real work is still really done and done honestly where no one sees. Terrific subject , exceptional poem, and I quite like that title for it, as well.more »
