Soren, this gave me a good chuckle, my friend. πŸ˜„ As soon as I saw the title, I checked to make sure my poem wiped itself! 🀣 Then I realized it was a senryu. πŸ˜… There is a wonderfully curmudgeonly energy here...part lament, part satire, and part defense of the craft you grew up loving. Well done. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

A few people on this site still have something to say that doesn\'t rely on the contrived creativity of an intelligent artefact !

I suppose every generation formulates their own poetry.
Rap comes to mind as one of them.
Though when I have to google some poems to get the phrase right, I might think to myself, theres another poem around the corner I can read.

Oh I agree here. So often I have seen the non-words \"wap\" or \"wassup\". It strikes me as an excuse for not being able to write coherently.You certainly feel passionately about the issue.And rightly so.A great poem. Here here

When we all became mini capitalists, we unwittingly sold our soles.
The good things in life were dangled in front of us and we all jumped.

Soren, this is one heck of a poem. There is real bite in this from the opening sentence onward...angry, provocative, and completely unapologetic in the way it challenges complacency and conformity. It grabs hold and doesn\'t let go. Powerful write, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Soren, you got me with this one. The imagery is rich, fluid, and immersive...it feels like stepping into a dream where water, steam, and self-discovery all occupy the same space. There is something wonderfully hypnotic about it. Great job on this, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

The most painful point of the poem’s dystopian vision is the voluntary submission to bondage and the normalization of suffering.

This has so much to consider.We sell ourselves to bondage.Life certainly feels that way at times. Retreating like sheep when the wolves are at the door.An amazing piece here compadre

Never been in a Turkish Bath. Probably never been in a Bath for that matter. But reading Playboy years back was quite Hot.

Thomas W Case said:

There’s a vivid, almost tactile intensity in thisβ€”like weather becoming a body, and the body becoming weather in return.

And what lands most is that movement from obscurity into clarity… as if the fog isn’t just hiding things, but gently preparing them to be seen.

Tried the Turkish bath once, where after sweating the impurities out, one was then advised to jump into a freezing pool.
Don\'t know what one was the worst.
Naked people are not nice to watch, beats me why they have nudists beaches.

Look closer
Durdica Porobija said:

This poem, based on chiasmus and antitheses, is very playful. And it certainly shows that distances are significantly closer than we think. Sort of.

Durdica Porobija said:

This song, based on chiasm and antithesis, is very playful. Moreover, it shows that absolute opposites are closer than we think, that one arises from the other. Something like that.
