Bath in a cloud
Paul Bell said:

Tried the Turkish bath once, where after sweating the impurities out, one was then advised to jump into a freezing pool.
Don\'t know what one was the worst.
Naked people are not nice to watch, beats me why they have nudists beaches.

This poem, based on chiasmus and antitheses, is very playful. And it certainly shows that distances are significantly closer than we think. Sort of.

This song, based on chiasm and antithesis, is very playful. Moreover, it shows that absolute opposites are closer than we think, that one arises from the other. Something like that.

Oh I love this line: With gluttony my eyes devour the beauty of each blooming flower. I think we are all drawn to the ephemeral beauty of flowers.

I always noticed that all the Baddies in old films had a Beard - usually a Goate. While the Hero was clean shaven. The Sheriff of Nottingham and Robin Hood . Ming the Merciless and Flash Gordon. A good Write as always.

Hi Sorenbarret, I can\'t think of many poems I\'ve read about beards. This is by far the best. It\'s an awesome stand alone poem on it\'s own. Bravo πŸ‘ πŸ‘

Soren, this made me smile. There is a playful curiosity running through the entire poem...part teasing inquiry, part philosophical reflection, and part affectionate roast of the humble beard. Wonderful work, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Different shades of love
Samprikta Paul said:

While reading, a sudden thought arouse love seems like the 5 elements of earth, which also needs 5 senses to keep it going. Well written.

This is so well written that I felt disgusted by the idea of men, whereas the word \'lust\' made me uncomfortable.

Soren, this really moved me. What stays with me is that this isn\'t simply a poem about contradiction...it\'s about a real encounter with someone who challenged easy assumptions. Your note about the landlord adds tremendous weight because the kindness wasn\'t theoretical. You experienced it directly, then later learned the rest of the story. The result is a poem that refuses simple answers and asks us to wrestle with the complexity of human beings. Powerful work, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
