An Ode to a Poet of Nature
L. B. Mek said:

(thanks for sharing and inspiring my feeble reply, sorry again if you take offence to anything I have written)
there\'s a reason Why, some choose
to wrap their Poetry,
in the hope of Nature
or that pitifully scarce, sweetness of life..
Yes, by all means
we should all express our reality, as-is, Raw and defiantly Bold
we should Never, project a reality that\'s foreign to our eyes
But,
I ask you, Why do you write?
is it merely, to use your words
as tightened fists
and your blank canvas: as your punching bag?
and if so, are you \'Punching - away\'
to learn how to Hurt, others
like you\'ve been hurt - or
are you utilising
a tool for self-expression
to rid yourself
of the frustration, hopelessness and hate: in your inherited circumstances and experience of life...?
Write, what you like
write, As you like
Write, for Who you choose to,
But,
if all your words, merely amount
to you perpetuating the same
suffering, you yourself have experienced
then I ask, where\'s the utility/purpose? to what end?
why waste/invest so much of your precious, fleeting Time
and not try, to get something back in-return?
Why not instead, write your away
to a different mindset/perspective
gradually, syllable by syllable...
find out, how
in this cruel world
Some, still choose
despite their horrid experiences
to write about the beauty, you yourself can\'t identify with?
and if you fail, if that \'better\' never reveals itself to you,
do you miss-out on anything?
Instead, is there a chance
you can utilise your \'poetic eloquence\' to gift someone
a break,
from their monotonous existence of all-things: despairingly drear?
(that\'s why
Some, choose to write about Nature
not, Because they don\'t know suffering and Pain
Not, because
they don\'t see the crimes being committed in the world
and Not, because
they refuse to give Voice to the cruelty in people\'s, daily Reality.
But,
instead - they Choose
to utilise their words,
as a Beacon of hope for those looking
to Change, their view of Life
to Aspire, to a reality that\'s a little less Bleak
to Inspire, Motivate
and highlight the timeless-truth: that Who we are
and Where we are
in our lives,
is never too late, to be swapped
for the What, we want: out of life...)
forgive my rude - lengthy rant,
I just wanted to showcase my perspective
on a specific point that you touch upon,
the \'You\' in my wording, is a generic one
not specifically addressed to you directly,

A Ruined Date

Brilliant! lmao
\'each to their own\'
when our divisive lines
are so comprehensive, we have
to find ever-new
and meaningless lines, for segregation, well
all we can do, is shake our heads
and swipe to the next page
cos, it will take more than our generation
to find a tangible, solution... lol
I really don\'t get, why
this is even a topic, let alone grounds for battle lines to be drawn..
since when, is the effect of opposing flavours in food
so grotesque?
There\'s an entire continent who\'ve grown-up delighting in that timeless delicacy
tilled, \'Sweet & Sour\'
and let\'s not forget
how many of the world\'s Classic dishes
have cemented their legacy
by combining flavours to create that wondrous, salt and sugar culinary combination...?
(I get it, some
don\'t like it,
but to Hate it?
and act like
its some Alien, notion
to Comprehend?
Well, that\'s just the heights of
Modernity\'s: Absurd
\'In my humble opinion\'.. lol
(thanks for sharing
and inspiring my feeble, scribbled reply,
was just having fun)

Happiness\'s home?
iAli said:

There is sweetness everywhere if you are just willing to look. Every is the attitude of your mind but we are unable to do that. Because we all want to be sad saying the opposite. We always want to show our problems and sorrows to be greater than others. 🙃
Nice writing man. 👌
