A powerful, short, and simple painting, Soren, Your poem revolves around guilt and the struggle for forgiveness. It suggests that our past mistakes and regrets can consume us, likening guilt to a destructive fire. The reference to Lethe—a river in Greek mythology associated with forgetfulness—implies a longing for release from the burdens of the past. Your poem captures the tension between enduring guilt and the hope for redemption. Which we should all learn to do! I am so guilty of this!

Ah...the alluring waters of Lethe. Here\'s hoping! Excellent, my friend! A wonderful poem that speaks truth to me. Guilt, pain, suffering, all those things seem so tempting to forget, but for the beauty and joy one experiences as well. But we have to ask, does the joy and beauty out weight the pain and suffering? Who knows, but maybe, just maybe, not having any memory might be true peace. Boy, this is sounding more and more like Nirvana! LOL! Just let go and cease to be. All the same, my friend, this poem really got me thinking and for that, it gets a major fave. Well done on this! 🌹👏

Good write SB. There\'s something about \'heaping burning coals on an enemies head\', so that they turn from their wrong ways. Meant symbolically.

Darker than black
Friendship said:

A powerful poem,sorenbarrett, Your poem explores themes of pain, longing, and the dichotomy between dreams and reality. The imagery of suffering, such as \"ants beaten by cane poles\" and \"broken glass,\" suggests a struggle or hardship. The juxtaposition of dreams and reality indicates a desire for escape, with dreams serving as a refuge from the harshness of waking life. Ultimately, the poem conveys a sense of yearning for the comfort of night and dreams, contrasting with the harshness of day.

A wonderful reflection on poetry, where inky rivers flow across paper skies and the messages tap into seemingly unchartable regions (namely the psyche of the the poet\'s reader). What a thought provoking piece, one that I and I am sure many others on here relate to. 🌹👏🎩☘️

a beautiful painting,sorenbarrett, Your poem delves into the creative process of poetry writing, illustrating how poets perceive the world differently. you seem to convey the importance of poetry in expressing complex emotions and truths, illustrating the unique insights that poets bring to the human experience. It serves both as a celebration of poetry and as an exploration of the craft itself. your choice of words reflects a deep emotional resonance and a connection to nature and human experience.

Not only do I like the poem itself, but I also like the visual way it\'s presented.
The shape of a bouquet of flowers is a nice extra layer in this piece.
