An interesting write.
A tad unfocused, but I got your point.
I especially liked:Soap was the punishment for children, to wash away their lies,
What is it for adults, to wash away tears and pain we hide?
We live our lives so guarded to please our partners wish,
Are we completely true, when living with all their whims?
Do we hide the worry and stress not having the perfect day,
Forever saying it's going to be ok, but leaving words unspoken.
Or is it best to face that question on another time or day,
We are told we are all Gods' children, is that a lie or true?
Remember when asked the question, what will you do??

Comment from Nanette Mary
Hullo Deepwater ...
In this free-thought writing, as I read it, you are
pondering over many questions and how they would be answered. I like your title - "Your turn with the Soap" - referring, as you do, to the old-fashioned custom of a child having his or her mouth washed out with soap as a punishment for telling a lie or using bad language.
In today's world, if this was done, the soap manufacturers would have greatly increased business!
I have given you 5 stars, trusting that you will consider the few small changes recommended ...
* You have - Not knowing were it's leading ... this should be - where it's leading ...
* You have - to please our partners wish ... this should be - to please our partner's wish - if you are referring to a single person, or .... partners' wishes ... if you are refer to more than one. I raise this question because, a little further on, you refer to "all their (plural) whims" ...
* After your words ... but leaving words unspoken, you need a question mark.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
With love from ..... Nanette Mary.

Comment from daniela.albu
Very interesting and original in format this poem puts plain questions on honesty and truthfullness:
"Soap was the punishment for children, to wash away their lies,
What is it for adults, to wash away tears and pain we hide?"

Comment from Joan E.
I enjoyed your thought-provoking poem and bits of rhyme, I also especially liked your "duck" simile and "Soap... to wash away their lies" metaphor. (I think it should be "partner's" in line nine.) I found your use of questions quite effective.

Comment from Dall
I pushed someone away that I truly loved, in fact, I still do love. However, I am looking back and I think he didn't really care from the beginning. I say that for this, to talk it out sometimes is the best, not just to go along with the whims of others.. He preferred to walk away, nothing said... Well done!

Comment from kintesiegel
i guess i do like your serious poems better than the romantic ones. i like the questions you pose and the analogies you make like this one about the duck "paddling from land"...that brings a bit of cowboy culture to the screen.
I know that you write "fast and hard" as you may have lived but these words are not needed in the first lines "words that are not spoken" [that are] are superfluous and may make the poem less fluid. Condensing is one way to turn prose into poetry.

Comment from Isaiah Ramesses
I tend to believe we are not all God's children, nor the siblings of Holy angels--not all of us I say.
The message is a good one. I think there was much knowledge and emotion in your presentation, Gary.
Well done.

Comment from c_lucas
My suggestion is for you to research "Free Will." Throughout the eons, man has decided his destiny, while knowing the truth. This is very well written with very good imagery and descriptive scheme.
