Hard love
PerditaRose said:
I really hate anger, especially my own. But I just want to point out that, for some people, mental illness comes prepackaged with its own punishment. So, there\'s really no need for dad, or mom, to get out the \"strap\", no matter what form it might take.
My impression, from the other comments, is that perhaps I\'m taking your words too literally. Still, I really felt compelled to speak up.

Yep, sounds like KP when her botox melts, or fades away. She goes all saggy - and that\'s Too Much Information! lol.

Dear Soren, I\'ve enjoyed the read, which I find very intense and dynamic, rather persuasive concerning the issue of excessive parental punishment. Best wishes and warm regards,

\'Spare the Rod ; Spoil the Child\' they say.
Everyone\'s wrapped in Cotton wool these days.
So many youths running riot on the Streets.
A Fine Write.

We are products of our childhood, and the discipline administered by our parents often lives on in us as parents ourselves. We learn by our mistakes, we have to have them to develop, and if parents can help their children to understand, then discipline will have a positive effect. Good write!

Soren, this hits with real force…there’s no padding here, just the raw edge of what gets called love when it’s really survival training. The honesty in it cuts deep, as it should, my friend! Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

An enigmatic character from the start! Took years of study and mediation to find equilibrium and a working understanding of Job. Excellent poem. 🙏🏻🕊️

I sometimes wonder how did we go from \' spare the rod, spoil the child\" to \'use the rod, loose the child\". I am not promoting violence against children, but gentle parenting has gone too far.

The poem \"Hard Love\" revolves around the concept of tough love, emphasizing the necessity of discipline and firmness in the process of raising and preparing a child for independence. The poem suggests that love can manifest in harsh forms, such as discipline and correction, which are ultimately aimed at fostering strength and resilience. The poet includes themes of parental guidance, the balance between love and discipline, and the idea that hardships can be a form of affection.

Nature dictates you hit the ground running, especially when you\'re the meal for some predator.
Contrast that with the molly coddled kids today who take their parents to court for taking their phones off them.
Where did it all go wrong.

Intense and heavy words about punishment from a parent that is excessive. Well written.

Yes, I don\'t wrap KP in cotton wool in sentimental love. I put her in a cage and wrap barbed wire around it. That\'s going too far, says Fido! Well, I said I was \'orrible. lol.

This could be god saying, play by the rules, I\'ll look after you.
Don\'t play by the rules, you perish.
The earth is a great place, it provides for us, sadly we don\'t look after it, so if people perish it might just be a warning to try harder.

Soren… the way you braid breath, power, and ruin… it’s stunning. You caught the divine in every element without flinching from the cost. This one lingers and is a personal fave For me, it speaks to the reality of God\'s omniscience far better than most. I am personally panentheist: God is both in everything, but also transcends everything. This poem speaks to God within, which is as important to me as God outside. For all those reasons and a more, a personal fave.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your poem explores the omnipresence of God in nature and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. It portrays God as a force inherent in natural elements, suggesting a deep connection between the divine and the world around us. Yet the poet aims to evoke a sense of reverence for nature and a deeper understanding of the holy, encouraging readers to find the sacred in their surroundings and to reflect on the interconnectedness of life and death.
