Now if someone had not let the cat out of the bag, it would not be among the pigeons/birds!

Soren, what a haunting portrayal of conditional care. She repairs what was broken, sends it away, and then refuses the bond her kindness created. Tenderness and abandonment sit painfully close together here. Excellent write, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Could stand in for several types of situations where love is mixed with control wherein even cruelty is disguised with kindness and caging in what should be free. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

Durdica Porobija said:

Poetic doubt is sometimes intense. Everything in the world is fragile, poetry included. Everything is prone to destructionβ€”even poems written in pain or joy, depending on the moment. This is an eco-poem... Perhaps the waste will become fertile ground for the growth of new poems. ???

I like the cat image, and we know cats like birds.
Some goodbyes need to be cruel to be kind sometimes.

Freedom
Jo March said:

Thank you for the beautiful poem. I really enjoyed it. I think that it is indeed true. If you reach for freedom, it eludes you. As you put it, \"one only grabs a dream.\" Still, we keep trying to pin it down, to own it. Love cannot be bought or sold. So, if you find love, you probably also find freedom.

Yes it\'s understandable why a Mother would constantly look at Photos of their Sons, Daughters when young. To try and take-in the Passage of Time.
And finding it hard to Let Go of those times.
Well said.

I suppose with camera phones now, the photo album has gone, which is a shame.
Did like the black and white photos, they showed charactor.

There are worse places to be. My mum\'s mind is very clean. She\'s a very innocent 84 yo mother of 6. Not sure how she managed that.
I\'ll have to move out sometime, but until then it\'s a comfy place to be.
I liked your poem.

What a clever and poignant piece, my friend. Those photographs preserve something precious, but they also reveal how easily parental love can hold an adult inside an identity they have long outgrown. This really lands. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Candy Bars
Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, this is playful, sharp, and thoroughly unapologetic. The candy-shop conceit carries the reader from physical temptation into complete disillusionment...with a wonderfully wicked finish. Great write! πŸ«πŸ¬πŸ˜‚πŸ™

There is much politics and powerplay in human relations and some use/abuse/misuse their wiles to whatever advantage or gain they aim at. And many willingly play even in the direst of odds. Perhaps it’s related to the old adage of everything being fair in love and war. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

A striking comparison of physical attraction and inner reality, using food imagery to create a cynical, satirical, and provocative tone.

Come into my web said the spider to the fly.
Men will go into that web in a minute, and we know why.
Does that make us dumb, desperate, not saying.
