This reminded me of the Dutch Elm Disease that wiped out all the chestnut trees in the U.S. They died from the inside out, became a hollowed-out trunk and nothing else. Can we try to save our natural environment?

Good write SB. I see some trees with rot or leaning over. Must have strong roots so as not to come crashing down.
A joke now (argh): What is brown and green, and if it fell on you out of a tree, would kill you? Nope, not a branch - but a snooker table! heehee.

Well written, the tree symbolizes individuals and their struggles with internal and external forces. This poem serves as a poignant reminder to me of the inevitability of decay in life and the importance of self-reflection and cleansing in regaining one\'s vitality and freedom from negative influences. It offers a philosophical perspective on personal growth and resilience.

A powerful metaphor about decay and the need to let go of what clings to us - quietly thought-provoking and beautifully written.

Your words weave nature’s truth with haunting grace—
a stark reminder to shed what decays, leaving no trace.

I see two very important meanings to this poem, I see the soul of a person and a soul of a tree. Wonderful 🌹

A beautifully evocative poem - fleeting, elemental and ephemeral.

Love the metaphor, pebbles creating ripples, and have used it myself; never in a poem though. Well done, Soren. 🌹👏

Poor neighbour. Just when he thought it was safe to go in the water! Darkly amusing.

Indeed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...is BLACK & WHITE. That\'s just faux security for the insecure. Well done on this poetic musing, my friend. 🌹👏

Your poem \"Pebbles\" beautifully captures the transient nature of experiences, memories, and creations, illuminating how everything, no matter how significant, eventually fades or is lost over time. It reflects on the impermanence of life and the profound yet subtle impact that small actions (like throwing a pebble into water) can have on the surrounding world. This poem inspires readers to cherish the fleeting nature of life and recognize the lasting effects of our actions, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the present moment and the small changes we can inspire in the world around us.

Your words ripple through time,
each verse a pebble in the mind’s pond—

I read here that creatvity in the form of a Poem, a sand castle or a song sung cause ripples in the world but nothing lasts and their impact can actually disturb the balance.Quite a lot in a small space,Well done

Always great reading your work! Hope that disturbance calms sooner than later.

I would say pages (Crossed, Tossed) to not say lost twice.

orchidee said:

It\'s the need to \'speak the truth in love\', I would say. If it\'s truth only, it can seem harsh, bigoted, \'like it or lump it\'. Maybe if it\'s love only, it can seem soft, wishy-washy, sentimental.
\'What\'s all this sensible thinking from you? I\'m the one who thinks sensibly\'. Fido says to me. lol. He knows.
