so much controversy here. Wine coffee and cigars. Who can say for sure. Even the doctors can\'t agree on if alcohol is good for you or not. I guess the answer is \"moderation\". Too much of anything is probably bad.Certainly a thoughtful and well constructed poem.Had me smiling which I haven\'t done for years.

Its enigmatic verses invite deep reflection on existence\'s dualities. The rhythmic flow and clever wordplay create a haunting, thought-provoking piece.

There is two sides to everything in life, I sense the sentiment in this write would still apply if written the other way round, enjoyed the read

Birth, Life and Death the unholy trinity.This poem for me represents a journey into the \"contrary\" nature of Life. Born but not conceived everywhere and nowhere.I enjoyed reading it. It made me stop and think.

Wonderful a short yet incredibly reflective piece, which makes your title even more powerful. From the poet rubbing off onto the reader. Blink and you miss it! 🌹

What is a poet?
Soman Ragavan said:
Some quotes on poets and poetry :
--Poetry, being elegance itself, cannot hope to achieve visibility. In that case, you ask me, of what use is it ? Of no use. Who will see it ? No one. Which does not prevent it from being an outrage to modesty, though its exhibitionism is squandered on the blind. It is enough for poetry to express a personal ethic, which can then break away in the form of a work. It insists on living its own life. It becomes the pretext for a thousand misunderstandings that go by the name of glory...
--Poetry is a religion without hope. The poet exhausts himself in its service, knowing that, in the long run, a masterpiece is nothing but the performance of a trained dog on very shaky ground.
--The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood.
--If a poet has a dream, it is not of becoming famous, but of being believed
--Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.
--Take a commonplace, clean it and polish it, light it so that it produces the same effect of youth and freshness and originality and spontaneity as it did originally, and you have done a poet’s job. The rest is literature.
--Jean Cocteau (1889-1963)

Opting out from this one, as I\'m not a poet - I, when I can, just write rhyming verse.
Thanks Soren for reminding me which tribe I belong to.

What is perfect
Tristan Robert Lange said:
It\'s funny, because I can almost imagine this is what God saw looking down following Creation and saying, \"It is good.\". The way the earth nourishes itself and sustains the cycles of birth, life, death, rebirth...awe-inspiring! As is this poem. Perfect in my book and a fave. 🌹👏

Thus, the dew\'s journey started from the earth, went up to the clouds, fell to earth and returns up. It is indeed a cycle. A cycle that is vital for many living creatures.
