"A Burning Bush" by @Yvonne D
"No chore for me ... I enjoyed the journey, but then I don't think it matters too much if I don't know the exact meaning of every detail of you poem. Jess [weirdelf] is right in that this is a powerful piece, truly beaut…"

"the little god" by @Yvonne D
"I won't even try to guess the identity of the sad liar god ... I shall simply admire the skill with which you've built up a sense of distress, formulated your solution and finally carried it out. Mike "not all mattering…"

"Mother" by @Yvonne D
"The last two lines are sublime - just exactly right. Not that the rest of poem is anything other than excellent and mercifully free of cloying sentiment. I can believe [through your words] that there is a real woman in…"

"My Promise To You" by @infinite_dwarf
"Shape-shifting? Yes, I believe that's the essence of it all - bending the reader's perceptions beyond the common limitations of the words. Poetry = verbal lycanthopy ... I like it! Great poem for exercising the mind, Je…"

"I WANT TO..." by @Bonitaj
"Well I like the bold bits ... a kind of instruction manual for you-know-what in miniature. It think it is both witty and fun. Fun, believe it or not, is good. I guess I'd have written 'slide' rather than run - but I'm n…"

CASTLES IN THE AIR

BARRIERS
"This is dedicated to all those who are suffering, have suffered or suspect they may suffer barriers to relationships ... walls built by age-gaps, distance, misunderstandings and a million other reasons, some soluble, some impossible to break down without some damage to others. You may even have to settle for less than perfect - as the local saying goes hereabouts “Owt’s better’n nowt!”           * owt’s better’n nowt = ought is better than nought = anything is better than nothing"
