Once upon a time, man and the forest fed off each other, lived and died in harmony.
I sometimes think people don\'t realise how important trees are.
In a way, they are probably more important than humans.

wow - to keep an octopus as pet would have been interesting judging from your interaction with them- my son had tried to keep goldfish but would be heartbroken as each of them died, so stopped having them as it was also difficult to find a home for them each time we travelled . I marvel at your empathy with these pets

Your poem embodies the profound connection between nature and memory, highlighting how the forest serves as a repository of experiences, emotions, and secrets. The woods are personified as having consciousness, recalling past events and holding the essence of life within them. The poet also explores themes of memory, nature, and the passage of time through the lens of the forest.

decay and deterioration are so vividly described - one can feel the pain and despair that went along with it... a raw and beautiful poem

Upon re-examining your poem after deleting my first comment, I gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for the vivid imagery it conveys, and I regret my earlier haste in judgment, for which I offer my sincerest apologies. Soren, your poem revolves around the themes of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time. The speaker reflects on the fading memories of the past and the inevitability of change, suggesting a longing for what once was but can no longer be reclaimed. The poet includes the emotional weight of lost trust, the disorientation of life\'s journey, and the desire to reconnect with a forgotten or idealized past. You painted vivid pictures of twilight, dust, and remote beaches, allowing readers to visualize the emotional landscape.
your Metaphor, is that the “boat” symbolizes the journey of life, while “waters that are no more” represent lost opportunities or memories.

The last ship has sailed, never to return.
Now we talk of life instead of living it.
Still, the armchair is welcoming and there\'s bound to be some repeat on the telly to enjoy.
Makes you want to set sail now.

A great tribute borne of experience of what must count as one of the most amazing life forms ever to struggle up the evolutionary tree, most definitely up a different branch to us.
(life spans a conundrum - time perception a relative concept?)
Thanks Soren.

It highlights the creature\'s life cycle, mating rituals, and the profound impact of relationships that lead to grief. Your poem aims to provoke thought about the nature of relationships, loyalty, and grief, using the fantastical as a lens to examine the deeply human experiences of heartache and connection.

Got this image of you filling the five gallon bucket, which must be bloody heavy.
I would imagine octopusses to be very interesting pets, and I never knew they had a short life span, definitely didn\'t know both parents died.
I have watched them escaping from tight spots which is brilliant.
How long do they live for.
