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.

Not Escaping
Neville said:


This on its own made an awful lot of sense .. and was seriously good enough not to require an authors note .. but, it served to reinforce an already formed construct .. Nice one Dan & believe me, there\'s no need to knock yourself .. Neville

A great use of metaphor here Dan. Nurture is paramount. Without it, all living things will die. A gardener knows that best of all. First class poetry. Much enjoyed.

Here I hear the frustration and hopelessness of a situation. This is a poem of darkness. Nicely written, it conveys its feeling well.

Wow DW, that’ a neat encapsulation, eloquently capturing the struggles and perseverance of a writer. Highlighting the constant balance between ambition and self-doubt, and the determination to push through despite challenges. The poem serves as a beautiful reminder that the creative journey, with all its ups and downs, is worth pursuing. 👍🏻👍🏻
