Too late
Neville said:
to suggest that this in its entirety is intriguing is an understatement .. to suggest anything less would be both completely wrong and a literary insult .. I like it a lot for what it evidently is and what it clearly is not .. Neville

Too late
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a dark little piece, Soren. The missed chances keep stacking up until the whole poem feels like watching doors close one after another...and by the end, the timing itself becomes the tragedy. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Too late
soheil khodaparasti said:
There is something deeply compelling about this poem. It is dark, sharp, and wonderfully relentless. Every image carries that sense of arriving too late, and the final line lands especially hard—the reprieve comes only after the trap door has already opened.

Too late
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a fatalistic momentum here, with each image showing the moment of consequence arriving just after the chance to prevent it has passed. “You put on your glasses after you’re blind” is especially sharp—it captures regret in one brutally simple image.

Procrastination, we all suffer from it.
But there comes a time when its too late, you become the watcher instead of the walker.
So make everyday you have special, you deserve it.

Hi Sorenbarret,
This is very clever. I love how every line is basically another way of saying \"too little, too late\". That trap door opening just as the reprieve is signed is brilliant...really dark too.
Very much enjoyed and a favourite

Now that Summer is packing it\'s Bags, ready for its Journey South: I\'ll miss the Smells of the Countryside. Especially from the Trees.
A fine Poem as usual.

What a beautifully sensory piece. You make the fragrance feel almost tangible, as though the scent of the angel trumpets carries the speaker beyond ordinary experience and into something close to transcendence. I especially love the contrast between all the other intoxicating pleasures you mention and the realization that none of them can compare with something so simple and entirely natural. There is a wonderful sense of surrender to the night air, as if for a moment the world has offered you exactly what you needed.

Soren, I connect with this deeply. There are moments in nature that hit with a force no substance can reproduce...a scent, a sound, a night breeze, and suddenly you are somewhere else entirely. Wonderful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well you convinced me, Soren. And here I was, this entry to be a complaint that I, deprived of an olfactory experience you were prepared to boast about from the depths of the Brazilian rainforest, did not sit well with me.
Retracted. Bunnings, Our giant local supplier carries brugmansia if that be the same vegetation. Might have a spot for one, Means evicting an old established geranium, but will give the whole enterprise active consideration…
Goes without saying, it was an enjoyable write.

Every illegal substance in the world will lift you up put you down empty your pockets and turn you around.
Though as you say, nature provides it free, it gives you a lift, benifits your health, and leaves a lasting effect on you.
A win, win you could say.

Flora and fauna, botanics in this case, brings on a certain high. Even the trumpets are called by celestial ascribing. Much enjoyed. 🙏🏻🕊️

Hi Sorenbarret,
The best things in life certainly are free. You\'ve expressed this here beautifully. All those expensive intoxicating drugs being trumped by Trumpet Honey... I love that phrase, by the way. I wish I had a porch, deckchair and some angel trumpets of my own.
Brilliantly written, my friend.

The creek
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a strong piece, my friend. You take the life of a creek and turn it into something almost tragic…clean at the beginning, then gradually burdened by everything poured into it along the way. Powerful work, Soren. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Betrayal
rrodriguez said:
Soren, your poem is raw, with real energy and emotional force. The internal rhyme scheme gives it a strong rhythm and a kind of spoken-word intensity. Betrayal can be cruel and brutal.
