Dance with the wind
rrodriguez said:
This is so alive, so rhythmic! So full of energy. It paints wind as a force of motion and freedom. I love to feel the wind. I live next to the mountains, and the wind is so wonderful. This is excellent! I enjoy reading about the wind.

My best friend is of an age I will never get.
Birthed she did but did she ever regret?
In old age I try to make amends as much as I am able.

The forge
Tristan Robert Lange said:
I so get this. A Shamanic rite, passage through fire 🔥 Purged. Purified. Transformed. Brilliant poem that can be taken many different ways. Still, its magic is potent! Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

This poem was very complex for me. It could be taken in so many ways, but this is the best interpretation I came up with!
This poem explores the duality of passion and creation, highlighting the intense experiences of pain and ecstasy that accompany the process of self-discovery and transformation. It suggests that through suffering, one can achieve a form of rebirth or enlightenment. Your metaphor of a forge and the branding iron symbolizes both the pain of personal growth and the transformative power of passion. The poem delves into the themes of sacrifice, identity, and the complex relationship between destruction and creation. Your poem encourages readers to embrace their experiences, including pain, as integral to the process of self-discovery and growth. It suggests that through embracing both the light and dark aspects of one\'s passions, one can forge a stronger sense of self.

Pebbles
Soman Ragavan said:
We will notice the fleetingness of the following :
--melting snowman
--burning log
--eaten meal
--sand castle washed away
--ice sculpture melted
-- a song sung, with the echoes lost
The metaphor of the pebble skipping on water is an intriguing one. You drop the pebble vertically and it sinks. You flip it horizontally and it skips over the water for some time, bounding over, but it will finally sink. The ripples that arise will disappear.
Many scenes of fleetingness.
Poets seek immortality through their works.
“(On GAUTHIER). In a world in which everything is impermanent, the poet, by rearranging reality into art, can create something that will have more permanent value. ...... Art can thus provide the poet with a solace for his mortality while he is alive and the hope of immortality in death….” \"TWELVE FRENCH POETS. 1820-1900.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Love the wind and love to dance. Love this metaphor even more...though this could just be taken literally too. I\'ve witnessed such days around a clothes line. And guess whose childhood butt had to go pick the pins up? 🤣 Excellent job, Soren! 👏🌹

Very well written. Thank goodness it\'s about the parts that really don\'t count as we age. The growth of the mind and heart do.

Gone
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Freedom. If only we could all be free of the things that plague us, that eat us from the inside out, that feed off of us but never return sustenance. This poem surely helps one see the NEED for such freedom and, potentially, how to attain. That said, those pesky parasites and other creepy crawlies find a way to NEVER completely die. Profound metaphor. 🌹👏
