The only danger - or one of them - seems to me to be that \'plaguey\' thing - plagiarising! But such ones won\'t survive poet\'s anger. lol.

Indeed, there is danger in being a poet. The poet\'s power lies in his ability to wield words and languages. Physical weapons turn to rust with time. But the written words -- more so the words uploaded to the Internet -- never die... They cross where hard copies of books don\'t reach.

Soren, this is a stark reckoning with the cost of voice. You show how expression becomes target, how sincerity gets hunted under the guise of judgment. By the end, the sickness isn’t the poet…it’s the gaze searching for one. Very strong, my friend. Love it! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

You painted vivid images with the words in this poem. The \"razor tongue\" and \"vulture birds\" serve as powerful metaphors for the poet\'s sharp wit and the predatory nature of critics, respectively. Your poem \"Hazard\" explores the inherent dangers and struggles that poets face in their craft. It delves into the emotional and psychological toll of creating art, the vulnerability of expressing oneself, and the critical reception that can often be harsh and unforgiving.

This poem reveals how words can both wound and illuminate, and the risks poets face in exposing themselves—yet they write anyway, using the act to express their truths and transform pain into something that endures beyond criticism.

On hazards, a nasty poet on another site commented on lots of poems - \'I don\'t care much for this poem!\' They may have hounded him off the site with a \'good riddance!\'

Imagery abounds and while generally moody, ends on slight optimism. Nice.

Soren, a wonderfully roaming meditation on distance, memory, and endurance. You let landscape, weather, and inner compass speak together, and the result feels honest and unforced. By the end, the road isn’t just travel…it’s persistence. Strong work and Happy New Year to you my friend! The journey continues!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I must say Well written, Sorenbarrett. A poem with so many emotions.
The imagery you painted of nature, travel, and introspection. The Poet conveys a sense of displacement, evoking both the beauty of the natural world and the pain of separation from loved ones.
The poet has so many emotions. \"Freedom in Chains\" explores the tension between a yearning for freedom and the feelings of confinement and longing for home. It reflects on the emotional landscape of a wanderer who grapples with feelings of isolation while also seeking solace and connection. To me, your poem expresses the inner conflict of seeking freedom while dealing with the emotional weight of distance and memory. It serves as a meditation on the complexities of the human experience, particularly related to place, identity, and relationships.

“so far from home” is intriguing... Is the country you are living now your motherland ?... If it is not, then there is a longing for the homeland.
“so alone...” : this is the fate of poets. Even in a multitude we feel alone...
“torn between us two...” : plaints of a relationship....
“rootless within...” : also the fate of poets. Nobody and nothing completes the poet.
“weary feet...” : the poet is a traveller, a wanderer...
“solace to find...” : the perpetual search for happiness that exists in the poet.
“searching for slumber sweet...” : the restless soul seeks peace and sleep. Tired of wandering.
“so long the road...” : another lament of a tired soul.
“songbird tweet...” : comparison with a songbird; the same search for a soul that will complete oneself.

I just had this conversation with a neighbor yesterday. Not one soul was born to hate...it is a behavior that is sadly taught. We adults should take a lesson or 2 in kindness and compassion from children. Great read!

Soren, this is a bleak and necessary observation. You move from personal isolation to cultural consumption without losing coherence, and that final image indicts complacency more than cruelty. It’s a lament and a warning at once. Strong work. Happy New Year to you and your family, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

You portray the world with human-like qualities, describing it as \"deaf,\" \"blind,\" and having \"hearts too hard to feel,\" which amplifies the sense of isolation. Indeed, some people do become desensitized to beauty and treat others poorly due to their own bitterness. The metaphor of consuming Kobe beef highlights the superficial nature of certain pleasures. Your poem offers a critique of modern society\'s detachment from meaningful art and experiences, arguing that people prioritize consumerism and technology over deeper understanding.
