No give in forgive, no get in forget

I think I understand this as in the notion it is better than forgive and let of the pain, otherwise you allow to fester (easily), which is possible, but forgetting is a different game. Bit of a conundrum this one but enjoyable to read

Your poem presents a certain level of ambiguity; it shares similarities with a riddle, yet its convoluted nature makes it hard to grasp. But I will make an effort to unravel its meaning. Your poem revolves around the concepts of forgiveness and letting go of past grievances. It emphasizes that holding onto pain (the thorn) only leads to further suffering, while forgiveness allows for healing and growth.🤔

Soren, this is modern prophecy...our plastic paradise built on ashes.You frame progress as pyre...modernity burning its own soul. Each rhyme couplet sharp, reflective, elegiac. You turned frustration into poetry with weight and grace. Masterful, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Each day we become more alienated from the incredible natural world that spawned us, and I wonder sometimes if we even realize what we are losing. Great write my friend, so relevant it is frightening.

This speaks volumes to the human physiology.
How many times have you heard the words.
That doesn\'t sound like him or her.
Nobody can get into someone\'s mind, and I think this is why we gasp when something tragic happens.

Would I like to go back to the simpler life - the one experienced in my lifetime? I rail against the technology and complications you portray, but go back?
The internet alone as I use it, is such a liberation...
Enjoyed your listings/reminders Soren, well covered.

Your poem explores the tension between modernity and nostalgia, reflecting on the loss of genuine human connection and the impact of technology and societal pressures on individual freedom and experience. Yet the poet may aim to provoke thought about the direction in which society is heading, urging readers to consider the value of genuine connections and the impact of technology on their lives. The poem serves as a reminder of the past and a call to reflect on the present.

Opposites attract, they say.
Don\'t know how many times I\'ve heard the phrase.
He doesn\'t mean to hurt me, he loves me.

This poem captures so well the way we hide our most fragile parts behind masks and laughter. I felt the ache of that “cloak” and the honesty of the final lines. Thank you for putting words to something so many of us quietly carry.

Element of truths there. However the generalisations a worry. There are, would you believe, humans able to manage their life with their head, and ‘strong selectivity’…..

What would it be like to let someone see the real you underneath instead of a mirror where you reflect what they want to see? It\'s much more comfortable to wear the mask to hide the shame of who we truly are.

Well written, your poem \"Masquerade\" explores the theme of identity and the facades people create to conceal their true selves. It reflects on the struggle of individuals to cope with their vulnerabilities and shame, often resorting to masks to hide their inner turmoil. Yet the concept of wearing a mask—both literally and metaphorically—is to shield oneself from the judgment and perception of others. The poem explores feelings of darkness, shame, and the fear of exposure, underscoring the complexity of self-identity.

My friend, I’ve worn that same mask before...clown’s grin on the outside, fractures beneath. You captured that ache with stark honesty and grace. It resonates deeply. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a relevant poem in a post covid world still sometimes behind a mask literally. It disguises our self and hides out true intentions. I am something of a covid survivor so can relate to tbis. Very nicely done.
