@ArtistDora@blackboughpoems@MatthewMCSmith Dora -- this poem distills the emotional stakes of tragedy into a modern imagistic idiom.
Love the lines
"Steel-forged heart rends" and
" a future already ruined".
@hool415@blackboughpoems@MatthewMCSmith Julian -- you display such dark humor and vivid imagery in this poem to show how heat blurs the line between the living and the dead. Love the line
"warming embers from rushed cremations" 👏👏👏
@PoetryForce@blackboughpoems@MatthewMCSmith I like the sustained metaphor 👏💚
Do I sense mainly 'Regret'? ... perhaps mixed with a little feel-good 'Vent-Rant'?
Regardless, a nice ditty micro of 'Self-Awareness'.
@PaulWritesPoems@TopTweetTuesday@raybould_drs@MatthewMCSmith Paul -- I love the analogy of comparing a human's growth to the rings of a tree and then creating an edginess to it by using mechanical terminalogy😍
"Chattering steel-teeth cleave --
body tips right to left
faltering cartwheel"
