This is a wonderful poem of self reflection. It is an giant step forward to be able to own the mistakes of the past, and in doing so find forgiveness for yourself. A fine and courageous write!

The cause \"inspired by adult fairy tales accepted by fools\". Wish I could believe in your final stanza - enjoyed though. Thanks.

Doggerel Dave said:

I think I’ll have my reprisal (obligatory) with a splash of vengeance; satisfied, only then consider forgetting, although the ’best served cold’ principle can still pertain in certain circumstances.
That’s for me, but I hope it helps…..lol.

sorenbarrett said:

I like the metaphoric approach of this poem allegory is always a most useful poetic tool. Like a map that constantly changes with new voyages and expanded knowledge this poem proposes a chart to guide. Nicely done.

A most interesting rhyme scheme Dan this poem\'s wording reminds me of Bob Dylan in some of his songs. The interpretation of this and all its metaphors would be quite lengthy some rather obscure. There is a general feel of sad rebellion in it. Very nicely done Dan.
