I see a home that has been deeply cherished built from nothing and even though time has led it\'s rot, there are bones in its surroundings that will always make it home. I see memories of life 🌹

Such beautiful illuminated poetic verse, the rhythm and elevated descriptive terms and concepts propel the piece forward giving it a tone of revelatory prophetic inference. This is poetry at divine inspiration level- honestly your words and lines are each individually breathtaking to read they are so poetic and beautiful and you deal with concepts like light and dark, cosmic and celestial conceptual imagery, immortality, legacy, death, memory, time, character, good and evil, perception.... all within 6 lines of ethereal poetic imagery- a masterclass in brevity with true substance and meaning. I am in awe of this piece- it\'s brilliant. Thankyou for.producing this Sir! Sincerely, Elizabeth

Very good write, as usual! ;-)
At first, I thought this poem was going to be all \'comedy and fiction\': Lawrencium; then, with the last two lines...everything \'changed\'...into becoming deadly serious.

Wow, again. You are a really wonderful writer.
I can\'t help but feeling that what happens to us in life...;
whether we meet friend/or, foe, next...is for a reason.
And, for some reason, having only joined this site just yesterday;
I have had the uncommon luck to run into your works...;
something which I find to be very highly \'inspiring\', indeed. ;-)
You know how to take \'risks\' when writing poems...;
and, will do so really quite \'fearlessly\'.

Really powerful writing...wow! ;-)
I can\'t believe that your poems seem to be so \'short\'
-(I have ADD/Attention Deficit Disorder...leading to low attention span...
so, use of this device helps me to still continue reading through yours)-
and, yet, are so deeply affecting. Totally brilliant work...!

Interesting...the poem seems to show mankind\'s ever constant fierce struggle moving between both life and death. Fantastic! ;-)
I appreciate \'the sheer rawness\'...; and, also, the sense of totally unrelenting \'pressure\'...

Your description of memory is a wow from me, and perception too, simply a wow. Your wisdom and talents are truly on a level of their own. Wonderful and by the way your imagery had me twisted. 🌹

A good afternoon from here, Soren,
When you take away all the philosophies, the religions, the political systems, the markets and borders, it all boils down to this poem - the mud of memory and good and evil are but one. A superlative and profound passage of poetic wisdom. Much praise for this one, one to linger well after the reading.
Your fellow poet and friend,
Tony.

Hello Soren,
The optimist: maybe; the pessimist: maybe not but there is always the maybe. The multi syllable rhyming technique gives the poem a rap flavour which I have enjoyed very much and the poem complete is splendid. An out-and out joy to read. Very well done, my friend.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Friendship said:
This poem, \"No choice,\" revolves around the existential struggle of human life, emphasizing the feeling of being thrust into existence without consent. The poet touches upon themes of helplessness, fear, and the inevitability of death. The imagery of being \"torn from the womb\" and \"washed up on a foreign shore\" highlights feelings of dislocation and vulnerability in the face of life\'s uncertainties. This reflects my feelings when contemplating my own experiences of being thrust into a world that often feels alien and overwhelming.

A very poignant and touching write, of the suffering some people are going through today, infront of what we laughingly call the civilised world, nicely expressed and written

You could have easily been referring to a child in Gaza, the first thing to come to mind after reading this. A powerfully wrought verse, to express so much with so few words and to capture the minds, souls and hearts of many a poet. A superb passage of poetry, my friend, truly.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.
