Would I like to go back to the simpler life - the one experienced in my lifetime? I rail against the technology and complications you portray, but go back?
The internet alone as I use it, is such a liberation...
Enjoyed your listings/reminders Soren, well covered.

Your poem explores the tension between modernity and nostalgia, reflecting on the loss of genuine human connection and the impact of technology and societal pressures on individual freedom and experience. Yet the poet may aim to provoke thought about the direction in which society is heading, urging readers to consider the value of genuine connections and the impact of technology on their lives. The poem serves as a reminder of the past and a call to reflect on the present.

Opposites attract, they say.
Don\'t know how many times I\'ve heard the phrase.
He doesn\'t mean to hurt me, he loves me.

This poem captures so well the way we hide our most fragile parts behind masks and laughter. I felt the ache of that “cloak” and the honesty of the final lines. Thank you for putting words to something so many of us quietly carry.

Element of truths there. However the generalisations a worry. There are, would you believe, humans able to manage their life with their head, and ‘strong selectivity’…..

What would it be like to let someone see the real you underneath instead of a mirror where you reflect what they want to see? It\'s much more comfortable to wear the mask to hide the shame of who we truly are.

Well written, your poem \"Masquerade\" explores the theme of identity and the facades people create to conceal their true selves. It reflects on the struggle of individuals to cope with their vulnerabilities and shame, often resorting to masks to hide their inner turmoil. Yet the concept of wearing a mask—both literally and metaphorically—is to shield oneself from the judgment and perception of others. The poem explores feelings of darkness, shame, and the fear of exposure, underscoring the complexity of self-identity.

My friend, I’ve worn that same mask before...clown’s grin on the outside, fractures beneath. You captured that ache with stark honesty and grace. It resonates deeply. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a relevant poem in a post covid world still sometimes behind a mask literally. It disguises our self and hides out true intentions. I am something of a covid survivor so can relate to tbis. Very nicely done.

Soren, this is searing…nature becomes metaphor for us all, where need becomes control and pain feeds power. The imagery, the rhythm, the restraint...it’s all masterfully balanced. Exceptional work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My dearest Soren I enjoyed every word here, your write is splendidly written. Splendor 🤴as you’ve stated,
“Why does the innocent girl favor the wild boy
The naive lad the seductive siren seek
The nurturing woman to the drunkard makes herself a toy
The powerful dominate the weak”
This I would have to say is my favorite verse. You used words such as “drunkard” what is that word defined by, its meaning. You point out or made a good point/ point(s) overall. Within this entire piece I do find it interesting, it’s what I picked up, an image of maybe a girl with a drink at hand and she’s running from or something or someone or maybe just facing what she doesn’t want to face. This is a powerful written poem here 🤴🥂✨

Sensitive souls don\'t stand a chance in this manic world.
In fact, even the strong are thrown under the bus now.
You can see why mental health is at pandemic levels now.
