Better than who?
Durdica Porobija said:
The poem is reflective, as indicated by a series of rhetorical questions. A rhetorical question is a stylistic figure of thought. In addition, these questions are accumulated. Accumulation is also a stylistic figure that develops the proliferation of discourse, analytical details in your poem, all in order to shatter the imagined image of one\'s own goodness as opposed to the evil of other people. It is elaborated and a biblical reference: Do not judge, or you too will be judged!

Well said; your poem revolves around the seven deadly sins, personified in a character bloated with pride and entitlement. The imagery evokes a sense of grotesque excess, contrasting the character\'s self-perception with his morally repugnant actions.

Oh dear! I can\'t think very cryptically at present - when did I ever?! lol. But some personal matter requiring my thoughts just now.
Though I don\'t use \'copy and paste\' for my often \'good write\' / \'fine write\' comment.

Soren, it was the stolen stool of nature that really caught me. Such a brilliant image. The figure isn\'t even standing on their own achievement...they\'ve appropriated what was already there and claimed ownership over it. That lands with real force. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Coming to a town near you, a man of the people, or at least that\'s what it says on the can.
Would you buy a used car off this guy, service record included.
The world it seems is lead by these people, and they don\'t seem to die out either.

Reminiscent of the 7 deadly sins, ironically seen as the hero by many and magnified in a mirror reflection by self. Something like that. 🕊️🙏

Been on the brunt end of this in the past quarter century of online poetry. But in the end the burnt end would be to those who are unkind and abuse the powers that be at their disposal to curse rather then, bless however sheep\'s clothing their dressed-up critique is. A true Fave 🕊️🙏

Makes me think of the years I delivered for UPS ...\"no directions given\" ... \"without signs on the buildings.\" I really like it.

Two sides to an Argument. Who\'s Right? and Who\'s Wrong?
What tastes like Sugar to One is Salt to the Other. Nice one.

Soren, I love this metaphor. Turning a difficult conversation into something baked, served, and ultimately rejected is both clever and painfully relatable. The imagery makes the emotional dynamic immediately accessible. Wonderful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Soren, this is a heartbreaking portrait of aging and abandonment. The old tomcat feels like far more than a cat here...he becomes a symbol of what happens when usefulness fades but dignity remains. Beautifully written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thar she blows
Durdica Porobija said:
I see gradation as a stylistic basis - the wind gradually gets stronger to hurricane force, and then it seems to be a personification. Is the wind she - a woman? Who blows warmly, and then in the end destroys?

Very lively, playful, with functional and witty rhymes, this song stylishly confirms the theme of an unwanted guest. Very convincing!
