Upon re-examining your poem after deleting my first comment, I gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for the vivid imagery it conveys, and I regret my earlier haste in judgment, for which I offer my sincerest apologies. Soren, your poem revolves around the themes of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time. The speaker reflects on the fading memories of the past and the inevitability of change, suggesting a longing for what once was but can no longer be reclaimed. The poet includes the emotional weight of lost trust, the disorientation of life\'s journey, and the desire to reconnect with a forgotten or idealized past. You painted vivid pictures of twilight, dust, and remote beaches, allowing readers to visualize the emotional landscape.
your Metaphor, is that the “boat” symbolizes the journey of life, while “waters that are no more” represent lost opportunities or memories.

A great tribute borne of experience of what must count as one of the most amazing life forms ever to struggle up the evolutionary tree, most definitely up a different branch to us.
(life spans a conundrum - time perception a relative concept?)
Thanks Soren.

This poem revolves around an imaginative depiction of a mythical sea creature that exhibits both intelligence and emotional depth, mirroring human experiences of love and mourning. It highlights the creature\'s life cycle, mating rituals, and the profound impact of relationships that lead to grief. Your poem aims to provoke thought about the nature of relationships, loyalty, and grief, using the fantastical as a lens to examine the deeply human experiences of heartache and connection. Through the creatures you painted, the poem invites readers to reflect on their own experiences with love and loss.

Got this image of you filling the five gallon bucket, which must be bloody heavy.
I would imagine octopusses to be very interesting pets, and I never knew they had a short life span, definitely didn\'t know both parents died.
I have watched them escaping from tight spots which is brilliant.
How long do they live for.

I won\'t offer my interpretation, as others have done so finely. But I will say, it is lovely and thought provoking.

The poem explores the transformation of trees from their natural state into man-made objects, highlighting the duality of nature’s beauty and the pain of its exploitation. It reflects on the lifecycle of trees, the consequences of human intervention, and the eventual decay that all living things must face.
