Ah fishing...and what a metaphor for writing too...often feels like fishing. And the worst is when the fish aren\'t biting. This gets a fave for sure! Well done! 🌹👏

In real time I haven’t fished for about 25 years which bothers me to no end… and also in real time, poeting as with everything else these days, feels like fishing… I find if I just let loose, and that I have from time to time… hardly anyone would have a taste for my poetry… so what should the ratios be in the give and take… it changes from day to day and from case to case… (sigh) 🙏🏻🕊

I enjoyed the poem. Reading it made me think of the record spinning on the turntable and how carefree life becomes at that moment when the music sounds.

Flies
Friendship said:

This was a very challenging one, Soren, Your poem revolves around the frustration and disgust experienced when food, typically a source of pleasure and nourishment, is tainted by the presence of flies. It reflects on the loss of purity and enjoyment in a meal due to external, unsanitary influences, symbolizing broader themes of decay, contamination, and the inevitability of nature\'s intrusion into human life. Yet it also seems that The flies are a metaphor for uncontrollable and unwelcome aspects of life that spoil what is otherwise enjoyable. Serves to highlight the fragility of human experiences, particularly those related to pleasure and nourishment, and reflects on how nature, in the form of flies, can intrude upon and taint those experiences. It evokes a broader commentary on the inevitability of decay and the challenges of maintaining purity in life.

Fear
Friendship said:

Soren, Your poem aims to evoke empathy and provoke thought about the human condition, particularly regarding the relationship between past actions and present suffering. It serves as a reflection on vulnerability and the haunting nature of unresolved pain. You painted an imagery that evokes a sense of being trapped in one\'s own body and the haunting memory of past sins. The language you use is raw and evocative, with words like \"naked,\" \"homeless,\" and \"pain\" conjuring a stark sense of vulnerability. Yet your words like \"death bell\'s knell\" and \"bug prickles\" emphasize sensory experiences tied to suffering and discomfort as if one could comprehend yet remain oblivious to it.

It\'s enough to turn you off your food. Thing is, they know a good meal when they see one.

No one likes flies in their food. How rude of the flies to invite themselves to lunch. Why do they do it? Well all creatures have to live and need nourishment. This poem is rich in metaphor and has many meanings. Flies actually get bad press. Without them we would be up to our eyes in dead and rotting bodies and filth. That I learned from my biology lessons. Best just swat them away. Your metaphors are quite amazing sorenbarrett. Thinking outside the box all the time. A poem enjoyed.

On the fun side of this write I hate flies with a passion, on the serious side there are many messages in this write. How it needs one bad thing to go unchecked then it quickly multiplies, how greed becomes a disease, the more they the more they want etc etc, very nicely written and really enjoyed the read

I\'d say this is about greed, I see the generosity of the peaceful narrator acceptance of what is going on, knowing he cannot change it, he reflects on what good he can get from the bad situation. I would go as far to say this could also be about politics. But who am I to say. 🌹 Ah yes lots to munch on. 🌹

Beautiful, I guess even in dementia the mind has the key, and yet one is sadly lost to oneself. Thanks for a stimulating read
