I love the rhyming patterns that you employ in your poems, and this one is no exception. You give nature her just due in a most exceptional way, as you take on her most admirable characteristics.

Art
Bella Shepard said:
I suppose art is in the eye of the beholder, but the eye must be wide open and unclouded. I say break the rules and find the passion dear poet. You write truly from the heart!

Resignation
Bella Shepard said:
This is such a breathtaking commentary on our modern, electrified, technoligized world. I\'m old enough to remember a night sky full of stars, not so my grandchildren. I remember summer nights with the only sound was that of the insects, and staying out late to catch fireflies. It saddens me that it has all, as you so eloquently said in this poem, passed away. But we are lucky to have the memories.

Your key word there, for me, is \'balance\' with respect to the \'intestinal\' and \'intellectual\'. Can\'t fault that, Soren - thanks for laying it out so clearly.

I love the wonderful rhyming scheme of this poem as I read it aloud, its message so deeply felt. You so beautifully describe the equilibrium of life that we should strive for. This is such a fav!

Earth, Air, Fire

(funny wise Poet
how rarely we glean that connection
between that perfect sunrise
and the matter, released in every fire
\'recycled, cyclicality\'
as the Universes undeniable, inevitability...)
a great layering of questing
and thought provoking, lines
thank you!

Thanks Soren. It has all the properties of a smooth running engine - which has now misfired.

Swallow a sunbeam
Bella Shepard said:
Dear poet, sadly your words are reverberating around the world. I see it all too clearly in my own country, where too many in government want nothing more than to rewrite our painful history so that no one has to feel bad about anything. Thank you for always speaking truth in wonderful verse.

Good reminder, Soren. the way I interpret this final conclusion of yours sees nature abused beyond repair.
Would you believe the debate is now turning, anxiety expressed at declining birthrates......on an overcrowded planet; that the developed countries are still importing people in order to sustain \'growth\'?

Nice one Soren. You have reached the right conclusion for me here -.it either moves me or it doesn\'t.
First line I\'d take a smattering of an exception to as I have a bit of an allergy to too many rules. I\'d prefer schools with reference to art, with many truants!!

The scent of a dream
Bella Shepard said:
\"The scent of a dream\", haunting and beautiful, lingering as dreams so often are. I feel such longing in this poem, with the tear and the memory. Such a lovely write dear friend.

Such a dichotomy you present here dear poet, and one we must grapple with each day. So very well written my friend.

L. B. Mek said:
\'ashes to ashes, dust to dust
our footprints
harvesting our Time on earth\'
and on
that cycle of life
we need but find that one more
step, breath, blink
till, its all dreams as our essence
of unfathomable, existence
and on
(love this, dear Poet)

In the UK we were about to trust in (Liz) Truss - but she vanished in a puff of smoke! So we didn\'t trust in Truss. Doh!

Will you?
L. B. Mek said:
(worse yet, we\'ve devolved
even further
now we\'re waging activist wars
over ideologies
as spineless in worth, as a gust of wind
where you see the same faces
on either side of the picket fences
depending on that herd mentality\'s
@# trending, majority...)
\'Or would you do it simply out of love?
Would you hear the pleading of a baby bird fallen?
Are you too busy to hear a fly in distress callin?\'
these questions are so indicative
of our society devolving
into a cesspool of indifference...
again, dear Poet
a great read, and a much needed message!
I read and will try to heed
thank you

A message
L. B. Mek said:
such a thorough and in-depth, overview commentary
of our societal
issues and wasted potential
a great write!
forgive me dear Poet
I read your words and just began to type another instinctive reply
thank you for inspiring me yet again
(In striving to split atom\'s
into bitesize certainties
we negated, to decipher
and cherish, those traits
that allowed us to evolve
from cave dweller\'s
to modernity\'s
high-rise buildings and aspirations...
our evolutionary progress
need not necessitate, we eliminate
all that we\'ve accumulated, to date
why not write algorithm\'s
that perpetuate those finer traits
and virtues of our human race
why must we only utilise them
for a binary limited, profiteering
capitalist perspective
we, write the software
so let us free ourselves from
programming code, dependant
on boom n bust
\'if\' loops
invest, in a greater scope
for our societal hopes
anchored upon our intuitive kindness\'
evolutionary, civility
why not live like we dream
striving for that infinitely, greater
than settling
for the ease of that hollow, better...)
