Well said. Your poem depicts a journey through a dense forest, symbolizing the struggles and obstacles encountered in life. It explores themes of isolation, fear, nature\'s beauty, and the passage of time as the day fades into night.

Very powerful, dear Soren. A memory etched forever is having to walk through a moonless terrain in pitch darkness. Most pleasurable read. 🕊️🙏

An amzing journey through a dark place. So well-constructed and creative. The images took me to the spot. Incredibly power piece

Just watched an episode of \'The X Files\' where bodies were covered in Maggots. Then read this. That\'s me not sleeping tonight. 😗
Fine discriptive writing here.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, this moved me deeply. The poem never tries to romanticize death, yet lines like “In a headlight a candle extinguished” suddenly turn this roadside remains into something profoundly human and mournful. The dried hide, the emptied skin, the vanished smell…all of it quietly reminds us how fragile warmth and life really are. Strong, haunting write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Animals don\'t stand a chance do they.
Strangely enough, a lot of people actively search out roadkill now for food.
I suppose it beats going to the supermarket.

What we succumb to after years of disappointments, dismissals. Being ignored, isolated can all bring us to this lifeless end over time and in an instant.

A bit too morbid and graphic for me to read early in the morning, but your poem serves a purpose. Your poem serves to remind readers of life\'s fragility and death\'s inevitability, urging contemplation of mortality and the respect owed to all living beings, even in their demise.

This is quite a poem.Many layers here. At first it is a tale of an animal killed on the road.But that animal had the spark of life that was taken away,We all have that feeling of dread.I found this very deep and thoughtful.Made me think

That\'s one way to make leather, the weather tanning what metaphorically would be a bedraggled soul after years of exposure and trampling over. 🙏🕊️

There’s so many ways to take this poem in!
I personally took it as someone having their pure heart open to someone who is broken of heart.The damage left to the whole structure just because of the hole in the roof,is such a good example for things like planning something and one thing goes wrong,old age of a person,and even how crime turns bigger.Ive never read something so deeply layered!Honestly it made me think!

This feels bigger than a roof to me...like those moments in life where little ignored fractures quietly become collapse. I’ve seen that kind of slow erosion before, and you captured the creeping inevitability of it perfectly here. Wonderful write with a great use of metaphor, as always, Soren. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

OUCH .. that was me trying to emphasise a yell of anguish, this is so close to home it\'s unreal .. I\'ve just had to pay a fortune to get a new roof (Welsh Slate tiles) plus all the oak beams replaced on a barn & outbuildings that house my gym & sauna .. N

Leaks in a roof are nasty. You summed it up in prose like a poetic champion.

A POV is very much dependent on who or what is under that roof. Occasionally decay can be very picturesque; other times - early remediation.
Descriptive write, Soren.
