The sacrifices of life, be they large or small so that others may possess and benefit from that which offered, be that at the expense, pain or a gift of the benefactor. It\'s the kindness and the essence therein that is humanity. Of those who have lost, that is, out of kindness have been found in the rewards of the recipients. A wonderful poem in all. Composed with insight and compassion. Very well done, Soren.

All the very best,

Tony.

Beautifully said, Soren. There’s something deeply human in the way you frame loss...not just as suffering, but as offering. That final line especially struck me…giving our best piece so that it endures. Quietly profound, my friend. Thank you for this. 🌹👏

Your poem revolves around the notion of loss and the act of giving oneself to others. It reflects on the pieces of ourselves that we lose over time—whether through experiences, relationships, or the passage of time—and how these lost fragments shape our identity. You emphasize the beauty and significance of sharing parts of ourselves with others, suggesting that the act of giving can lead to emotional fulfillment and connection. seeks to encourage readers to embrace the act of giving pieces of themselves to others, the poet suggesting that while we may lose parts of ourselves, the act of sharing can lead to deeper connections and a sense of purpose. It invites reflection on the beauty of vulnerability and the importance of cherishing the connections we make throughout life.

I really like this. A very thoughtful, and well crafted poem. Distilling ideas of giving and having bits taken, but it\'s far from superficial. Makes me introspect and think deeply. I personally think it never perishes because the act of giving ultimately brings greater reward.

A good writing tho sad .. I think often we can have parts of ourselves that can feel very hurt / or yesh wounded .

I can sometimes feel like I’ve lost parts of me or that I’ve lost myself ( sad really

I like your words anyway especially the last lines about those parts we cherish

a wonderful sentiment. I have given away a few things in my life and the joy it brought others is far more important than the loss I might of had A clever and wise poem. I\'m learning something new every day. In fact this poem is a major gift to all

Oh I like this a lot. Beautifully written and a very interesting subject. I think it\'s so true that memories get shaped over time, and I love the clay and bronze analogies. The shattering caught me off guard but so true. I\'ve had quite a few discussions about how the same people can see past events differently. Some remembering rose-tinted positives and some remembering negatives, with everyone defending their beliefs. Great write.

Time is perception, and perception is unique to each of us. The reality I think, is what we do with it. A very illuminating and thought provoking write!

Soren, this feels like a meditation unfolding in layers—time slipping between perception and possibility. That closing movement especially…“no real, no dreams”...it lingers. There’s something eternal humming beneath these lines. Beautifully done, as always. 🌹👏 A fave for sure.

Well written, Soren, your poem explores the concept of time and existence, suggesting that reality is shaped by individual perception and desire. It posits that events are inevitable if one is patient, and that the journey through life is marked by a subjective experience of time. The poet is provoking thought about the nature of reality and time, encouraging readers to reflect on their own perceptions and experiences. It seeks to illuminate the idea that understanding and patience can lead to clarity and enlightenment in the face of life\'s uncertainties. { the nature of time!}

I get confused regarding time, some say time is a collection of stages and those stages continue even in afterlife, so effectively time never ends, then there are those who think we don\'t have enough time to do what we want before time runs out, an interesting and enjoyable read

Here in England I can\'t imagine being attacked by a Rattlesnake.
Would being bothered by a Butterfly be of any use.
Good Write.

Your poem explores the theme of human bravery and folly in the face of nature\'s dangers. It highlights the absurdity of wrestling with wild animals and reflects on the idea of courage versus recklessness. Ultimately, the poet questions his own sanity for taking on such a challenge. using humor to reflect on the absurdity of challenging nature, ultimately questioning what it means to be brave.

\'Fools rush in...\' and sometimes strike it lucky. It\'s the adventure in the risk taking, the bravery when in fear and the excitement in breaking rules - all in all you did slay the critter and who knows, perhaps saved someone\'s life from the rattler\'s fangs. If that\'s the act of a fool, well, let the foolish reign. I love the lighthearted approach you have taken in this episode of: The Life of the Poet Soren. Very well done, my friend.

You are in fine spirits, I trust,

Tony.
