Uncle Dave
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, this is beautifully done. The litany of privilege and access never brags, never explains…it just accumulates until the silence becomes the loudest truth. “Put his finger to his lips, then moved it as a zipper zips, uncle Dave” is the only ending this poem could have. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Very interesting story told through poetry. Uncle Dave seems like a wonderful person to be around, I’m sure he told many stories. I also liked how at the end his secret seems to be whimsical of sorts, instead of seeming very dark. Great job Soren.

Some wouldn\'t want to grace a cushion of Hitler\'s, but want to spit on it, or even set fire it to it!
Woof! That\'s strong words, says Fido.

Well said. Your poem serves to celebrate Uncle Dave\'s complexity as a character, blending admiration for his bravery with curiosity about the secrets he carried. It invites readers to reflect on how individual lives intersect with broader historical narratives.

Uncle Dave moves through life like a legend in motion,
his stories stitched with mischief, courage, and ghosts.

Uncle Dave, the man of mystery, no medals on show, always hidden.
Wars are won by uncle Dave\'s, hiding in the shadows directing fire, misinformation confusing the enemy.
Uncle Dave\'s never speak, they take it to the grave.

Soren, this is a haunting piece, my friend. From the sealed sky to the slow descent into night, every image leans into loss without dramatizing it. The restraint is powerful. Always appreciate your voice. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Aren\'t we all sir, aren\'t we all.
You seem to have a lot of emotional pain lately. Good to cough it out onto the page I think. I wish you well.

History of an old wound

Elegantly raw, \"a wound that still bleeds.\" Painful but hopeful that there is and will be \"an ending to heal.\"

Beautifully crafted, with lines like
Darkness descends with shadow arms, embracing a past turned gray
The casket analogy / metaphor is quite powerful. Sad. Moving.

We don\'t do death well in the west, unlike other cultures who celebrate a life lived.
I\'m not sure if the departed brings you closer to the inevitable or just makes the mourning worse.
Must be Monday, death is in the air.

Your poem explores themes of loss, mourning, and the passage of time. It reflects on the pain of grief and the inevitability of death while also hinting at the lingering memories of the past. Yet again, there are mixed feelings in your poem, revolving around a metaphorical funeral scene, where the imagery of a coffin and the associated feelings of sorrow evoke a deep sense of sadness. The poem addresses the emotional weight of memories and the harsh reality of accepting a departed loved one.

Charting the final goodbye. Inexorable all creatures and material goods turn to dust and disappear. We are left on with memories to cling to. Even memories start fading at some point. The only thing we are left with is to records our thoughts on an Internet site like this one for others to read and react for some time...

Would it be inappropriate to say \"Approaching night bends low kissing cold lips of a departed day\" was a chef\'s kiss?

A very insightful poem Soren. Great one to come back to! Often the hardest part of moving on is letting go and strangely it seems to hurt more than the wound itself. Great description, I hope you’re able to let go of what’s grieving you friend.
