Lipstick

A collapse has parked itself on the sky.

Can it hold up?

Weak essence, yet it feels so manly.

Inequality holds all the fame.

Meanwhile, inequity has been kept camouflaged.

Thank you so much for these positive words. They mean a lot

[Coyote Poetry]

I love your work and you are welcome.

Challenges the reader (as other reviewers confess). I like the enigmatic words and cryptic message. That which is weak can seem manly to shallow minds and the feeble fiber of injustice gets more airtime for fake news and mendacious policies than truth and beauty.

At least, that's what it said to me... the soft lips of reality smeared with a superficial slick.

[moog-drika]

I love the way you have put your interpretation with metaphors. It did not only add new dimension but also took me to the piece to understand the message again.
Indeed the world has painted itself more with falsehood and fiction and we are just smelling the era of anarchy again.
But thanks so much for such a beautiful review. It means a lot

I confess, I did not know what your poem meant until I read some of your reviews. Now I can see the "woman's movement" idea from your words . . . but for me, this kind of nuanced writing is not an easy read. Still, I want to learn to be more inclusive & not reject stuff that's written in a way that does not align with my reading preferences, so I thank you for helping me grow in that way (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I love to trigger my reader's mind and I don't feel guilty about it. I should thank you to still visit the depiction of the piece even after you were struggling to understand its meaning. And also thank you so much for coming up with a new meaning and adding a life to the piece with your review. Like I said, all these positive words encourage me to play with my reader's mind and thanks a lot again to upturn my courage. *hugs* and *lots of love*

the clouds are bursting..the movement is strong....women are strong and getting stronger...
we have to be and feel equal...both sides need each other.

That's why we share our thoughts and complement each other's incomplete journey this way. We feel equal this way. There's nothing called 'my thoughts', it has to be a mix up of everyone's thoughts.
Thank you so much for all the lovely words.

A fine poem, and the first line struck me as a perfect description of myself here on the Austrian- German border with a disaster area due to snow. This is how poetry can call to people. Fine write!

[moog-drika]

This is how write up reflects some real life scenarios or can be said vice versa.
Even though it has been penned based on my visions but the situation can reflect other people's life story more than the life story of mine.
Thank you so much for the compliment. It means a lot!

[Chris Shaw]

Thought provoking. Still pondering on this one moog-drika. I may come back to your lines.
