Tristan Robert Lange said:
Love this, Soren! That image of holding back time with a Möbius band really caught me. It’s clever and quietly profound…a perfect symbol for looping desire and human longing. Beautifully imagined, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I heard in days of old Sol used to gently light up the night sky from afar. That was a fun read, Soren.

Samba
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, the way nature becomes an orchestra here is just beautiful. Rhythm, movement, invitation, all braided together. “carnaval practice in the month of June” lands as both image and promise. Strong, musical work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Paul Bell said:
Just looking out at the hail and snow, thinking at some point I\'ll need to Samba off down to the shops.
I\'ll pretend the sun is shining, and my hips are moving to the rhythm of the music.
Never realised, Polar bears could samba, you learn something new everyday now.

The Gladden Scribbles said:
What draws me in here is how seamlessly you braid ritual, myth, and language into one motion—almost as if belief itself is being choreographed. Nature isn’t passive in this poem; it performs. It turns pages, conducts metaphors, wields batons and wands.
That opening movement already tells me we’re entering a sacred logic where symbol governs survival.
To me, I think the reference to Nemi and the dying god is handled with a quiet authority. Violence, sacrifice, and renewal are not explained away; they’re accepted as the engine of continuity. I find the image of blood guaranteeing crops especially arresting—it’s unsettling, yet it clarifies how deeply survival and worship are entangled.
Nothing here feels ornamental in the slightest; every mythic act carries consequence.
And that final couplet lands beautifully. “Religion born, poetry begun” feels less like a conclusion and more like a revelation—that verse itself may have emerged from the same need that built temples and demanded sacrifice. This reads like a meditation on origins, written with restraint and gravity, and it lingers well after the last line. Great work and keep on sharing your beautiful work. ~ The Gladden.

I’m struck by how you braid ritual, violence, and renewal without flinching. The idea that belief is born in blood and story feels unsettling and honest. This resonated deeply, dearest Soren. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Myth and ritual braid beautifully here—Frazer’s shadow, blood, crown, and renewal.
That last line seals it: where religion ends, poetry begins.

Your poem uses the metaphor of a farmer—or “tiller”—to describe someone who works, suffers, and sacrifices to cultivate hope, faith, or moral renewal in a world hardened by doubt and despair. Good one Soren
