Pebbles
Soman Ragavan said:
We will notice the fleetingness of the following :
--melting snowman
--burning log
--eaten meal
--sand castle washed away
--ice sculpture melted
-- a song sung, with the echoes lost
The metaphor of the pebble skipping on water is an intriguing one. You drop the pebble vertically and it sinks. You flip it horizontally and it skips over the water for some time, bounding over, but it will finally sink. The ripples that arise will disappear.
Many scenes of fleetingness.
Poets seek immortality through their works.
“(On GAUTHIER). In a world in which everything is impermanent, the poet, by rearranging reality into art, can create something that will have more permanent value. ...... Art can thus provide the poet with a solace for his mortality while he is alive and the hope of immortality in death….” \"TWELVE FRENCH POETS. 1820-1900. AN ANTHOLOGY OF 19TH CENTURY FRENCH POETRY.\" London : Longmans, Green and Co., 1957. (Third impression, 1959). (With an Introduction and Notes by Douglas Parmée).

Dance with the wind
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Love the wind and love to dance. Love this metaphor even more...though this could just be taken literally too. I\'ve witnessed such days around a clothes line. And guess whose childhood butt had to go pick the pins up? 🤣 Excellent job, Soren! 👏🌹

This is full of kinetic imagery, tactile rhythm and it beautifully captures the wild elegance of nature in motion. Well done

Very well written. Thank goodness it\'s about the parts that really don\'t count as we age. The growth of the mind and heart do.

Gone
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Freedom. If only we could all be free of the things that plague us, that eat us from the inside out, that feed off of us but never return sustenance. This poem surely helps one see the NEED for such freedom and, potentially, how to attain. That said, those pesky parasites and other creepy crawlies find a way to NEVER completely die. Profound metaphor. 🌹👏

The comparison of the aging body with natural landscapes is powerful and evocative. There\'s a quiet beauty in how you portray aging , even in decay. Well written!
