Brilliant ring composition... first the chains and bonds and abuse tighten and oppress, then forgiveness cuts the chains and we all begin to be free, oppressor as well as oppressed. Love this!

Would I be wrong if I said it evoked the memory of Gone With the Wind? The gaity in the beginning followed by the tragedy of war?

I believe every family must have a great storyteller. Perhaps not, but that is hard to imagine. Mine has had a few. This was such a wonderful write that I am sure is a fitting tribute to your Uncle. Well done, Soren! ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘

I hasten to say, I was blown away! Great story with vivid expression. For a moment it brought back that childlike imagination. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Beautifully crafted, the \"vertical lake held in place by the force of the gale\" powerfully symbolizes life\'s unpredictable journey, where natural forces shape our paths. The poem inspires reflection on life\'s twists and turns, and how external forces can transform and elevate human existence. It also celebrates the human spirit\'s capacity for resilience and adaptation in the face of nature\'s awe-inspiring power.

Holy Carroll! Innit something?! This one\'s probably the best I read here so far. Surrealistic, rich imagery. The idea of a storm that comes in as a constructive force (mills flour, holds a whole lake in place, all at right angles!) - is brilliant. It\'s like this is the storm of very reason!

First class work. \"A thought forgot cuts the knot\" and \"Drinking from earth\'s nipples\" could carry it all by themselves. Nice.

Tony Grannell said:

What caught my attention was \'A silent Rustle,\' a conflict, as in imagining sounds, a cacophony of presumed sounds and the madness therein, an aural paranoia , \'echoing in my brain\'. Frightening to say the least and very well captured in this exceedingly interesting and well written poem. Excellent!

All the best,
Tony.

Friendship said:

Ponderings is a profound exploration of the transformative power of sound, awakening a sense of wonder and curiosity within us. Your subject matter beautifully delves into the human experience of perceiving noises in oneโ€™s environment, interpreting them as potential threats or mysteries that inspire growth. The poem masterfully captures a blend of anxiety and intrigue, as the speaker reflects on the various sounds that surround them and the thoughts they inspire, leading to a deeper understanding of ourselves. Your poem expresses the complex yet beautiful relationship humans have with their environment and how sounds can trigger a mix of emotions, from fear to fascination, ultimately enriching our lives. In what I wrote, I wish it were true to feel it!

Oh yes indeed, I heard it. Well done yet again, Soren. We learn to ignore the things that go โ€œbumpโ€ in the night, but those whispers are hard to ignore. Thank for sharing.
