Perfection
Paul Bell said:
Yes, the perfect poem came at four this morning, and I should have written it down, but decided I would remember it.
Now, like the Titanic it has gone in stages.

Ohh, we knows only you and I are perfect! heehee. I read a bit - If you happen to find the \'perfect\' church\', don\'t join it - you\'ll spoil it!\' lol.

Guilt by association

A very good warning. Not only is your reputation affected by who you hang out with, you are as well, as you become like those you spend time with.

Wow! Powerful, my friend! This confronts guilt and loss head-on. It’s stark, honest, and deeply unsettling in the way it needs to be. Well done!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

And being a poet certainly means being naked! But they say the pen is mightier than the sword, so when critics aim I suppose we continue.

Love your enemies
NinjaGirl said:
One day I wish to be as loving and forgiving as this poem! How often I have wept in my own anger and longed for the peace of forgiveness. Very very beautiful and well done.

As a child I once mixed up \"Santa\" and \"Satan\" because they have the same letters...I find as a child we get Santa and as adults we deal with Satan!

Soren,
I found out from my friends and received confirmation from my parents. It was sad, but I don\'t recall any trauma. I live to tell the tale.

Hard-hitting and unflinching. I like how you capture the weight of loss and guilt with no sugarcoating. The final line—‘you put out the sun’—lands like a punch. Raw, honest, and unforgettable.

Your poem explores the loss of innocence and the harsh realities of adulthood, juxtaposing the hopeful imagination of childhood with the sobering experiences of life. It conveys a sense of despair and mourning for dreams that have been shattered.

You appreciate Santa more after the tree and decorations are taking down and the house looks bare.
Wonder if he\'s in the Bahamas with his feet up.

Dream of the rich, nightmare of the poor

Your poetry led me to think for many hours! Suppose we did have a world without the weak, how much different would that be? You brought up some concerns that are slowly becoming reality, it’s scary to think about that. As always, amazing job.

A beautiful take on the class divide and the obligatory slavery of the upper crust. Great job 👍.

Holy smokes! Talk about word play... Evenly metered with assonance in every line. I especially love \"purchased beauty...\". Quite a take on life itself and so true

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, the metaphor carries real weight. Heat, sweetness, sting, and safeguarding all work together to show how raw feeling is both fuel and risk. That final boundary you draw makes the whole piece hum with purpose. Thought-provoking work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Forgiveness is by far the most important part of healing, not for the recipient, but for our own personal needs/wants! (in my opinion) Amazing read!

Friendship said:
Well written. Your poem explores the concept of raw emotion and its dual nature—both beautiful and painful. It reflects on how emotions can be intense and overwhelming, akin to honey that is both sweet and scalding when heated. The poem suggests that these emotions are precious and should be shared only with trusted individuals, much like honey stored in a hive, protected and reserved for those who deserve access.
