Hello, Soren,
Halloween defined with terrifying scenes of the macabre apart from, \'beheaded on the farms\' I found that hilarious, I don\'t know why. A strange term for harvesting, perhaps. Lol. You never fail to capture the moment(s), my friend. Very well done.
Fond regards,
Tony.

This really touched me. There\'s so much pain and honesty in your words. Never underestimate the gift you have as a poet. Your words say more than you realize.

The drought of a poet
Friendship said:
A strong write. Your poem \"The Drought of a Poet\" centers on a poet\'s struggle with a profound creative drought. The poet feels disconnected from their muse or inspiration, leading to despair and loss. The poet seems to explore themes of inadequacy, a longing for validation, and the desperation of an artist searching for meaning and connection.

This hits deep. Every true poet knows this drought. But one should hold on, the rain will come again.

The drought of a poet
Thomas W Case said:
Fantastic work. There’s a raw, biblical lament here, with the failed harvests, poisoned wells, and wandering sheep turning material ruin into a desperate search for what has gone wrong between the speaker and his God. “What now can I offer you that I have nothing / I a simple poet, only words do I have to present” is the keeper for me, because it brings all that ancient anguish down to the vulnerable heart of the poet, standing empty-handed before heaven with the one gift he still possesses: his words.

Don\'t think that way.
Sometimes God is not punishing us , sometimes God testing us only to see if we will stay loyal to Him even he removes all what makes us convenient and happy...Just include this to your prayer.
I Know I\'m not perfect so let your light guide me, let your golden rules becomes my armor , when the storm hit me with the vast winds.I will trust you no matter what ....Amen

I really like the metaphor of the line “only a poet spins straw into gold.” The way I see it, the straw represents the simple ideas and the gold represents the meaningful parts and when spinning the straw it represents transforming ordinary language into something extraordinary through creativity. Nicely done poem :))

Well written. Your poem explores themes of creativity, the value of ordinary life, and the unique ability of poets to elevate simple experiences into art. You emphasize how common materials and experiences, like a floor mat or a basket, have intrinsic worth and can be reimagined through language.

We sure are a throwaway society, everything is replacable. Amazon agrees counting the profits.
I\'m sure the poet loves the scraps, and tries to put them back together, maybe with flaws, but that\'s okay.
