Dan this marvelous piece is full of great lines...(the best way to get our hands clean is by washing something else., The weakest arguments extend from those most needed to be strong,,continually rethinking the things they claim to be sure about,) but the clincher for me was the last two lines of the poem
(anything she did not first believe can just not possibly be right,
if she did not see it happen it could not possibly have occurred)
So many people are like this and it delves deep into human psychology of the times.

What we belief can prove unreliable and makes us question them. Things that bring sense to our world may not always add up, becoming temporary comforts and while remaining hopeful are not very reliable. An ongoing conversation on truth, perception and human experience is quite invaluable! :-)

I loved the last line particularly (then god’s repairman makes the call; not worth fixing.) That kind of sums it up. A sense of darkness pervades this piece and its shadows are reflected in this last line.

And I am a realist of the cynical positivistic variety. So this poem is right up a familiar avenue.

The authors comments remind of an ex boss who said to me some people thought i was arrogant and rude, and i said i was confidant and honest. I feel it is like that with this poem, Reality can can across as negative, ( but that1s reality), not everything in life is a bed of roses. Enjoyed the read.

Logic suggests that there has to be a precise point where it (indeed everything) begins .. and conversely, I imagine it also ends .. Your post today points a very pointy finger in what might be a write direction .. perhaps .. 😎👍

Drink In the Sunrise
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This is a wonderful poem and a wonderful story. Indeed, very relatable. \"Bring on the music, raise the Chablis, drink in the sunrise\"...this could be my mantra after a long night of reveling in poetic writing! 🤣 Seriously, Orchi\'s daftness aside (which is rubbing off on me), I absolutely love this line and the ending:
\"The cloud above you is dark sided but means no rain,
still it blocks the sunbeams plainly meant to warm her.
Letting her believe that life is not fooling her again;
you become only another approaching storm.\"
So very, very powerful...how one, despite meaning no harm (rain) can become simply another passing storm. The imagery there is rich, especially having been on a fourteener and having seen how seemingly innocent clouds can turn into passing storms. Wonderful, wonderful imagery that drives the point home. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

The \"basket full of light\" jumps out at me and stays aloft in the reading. So much fun when they get away that way.

This one spoke to me with each stanza a great line, so many in fact that I looked forward to finding the next. (A basket full of light collected,, The entire second stanza, You saw her balancing the different hurts underneath the hat of love she used to wear) The whole poem is magnificent!!

So much of misuse of power goes under the rug. Glad that this poem deals with that.

A poem that makes me ponder how we as a species ever survived evolution. Deeply written it poses several questions that we should think about. Nicely written

Ingenious the wording in this poem, not just of images which were wonderful and spot on. But of the very structure of the poem itself. The rhyme scheme left the reader feeling as if there was more to come. This echoed the theme of the poem itself, as if wishing that something more would have happened. The opening of the poem dives right in. But the second person keeps a bit of distance. The first line of the second stanza feels novel like. I love the line in the third stanza “ignores the growling dog of fate, which he figures to be all bark” A most beautiful poem

Getting an interlacing of themes of fate, change, and self-reflection; highlighting the constant interplay between fate and self-determination... What an epitome of resilience in the face of fire.

The metaphors are good in this poem and convey the meaning well. Blocked and frustrated the going is difficult but should not be given up on.
