Good write SB. Had a puff on me grandad\'s pipe about age 10. My first and last puff. Does everyone try a pipe and/or cigarette once to see what it\'s like?

Soren, the scapegoat image got me hard. That old idea of carrying everybody else’s wrongs has always bothered me, and you pushed right into that discomfort. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There’s a damn earthy, almost shamanic quality here, turning tobacco from an ordinary smoke into something harvested, cured, rolled, burned, and transformed into a doorway for visions and conversation with the natural world. The final image of the “smokey tongue of a muse” is the keeper for me, because it makes the smoke itself feel like a strange old poet whispering new ideas into the speaker’s head.

You sure it wasn\'t dope? Twenty years a smoker, over half that time with hand made rollups. By far the better option. No satisfaction like rolling a perfect ciggy (about one in three) and the creative satisfaction of the perfect draw..... But I wouldn\'t be around now if I\'d cintinued the habit...

I remember that summer that I chewed tobacco and had the most fun out of it, but then after that I never returned to it. I still remember the flavour and the scent like it was yesterday.

Poor Mother Nature: She takes some abuse from us . And still had a smile on her face.
Nice One.

Hello, Soren,
I love the idea of trying the cleanse one\'s sins with dirty water. The polluted and the polluter sacrificing the purity of nature for gain and loosing it all to that which he has destroyed. Just one of the many interpretations one could harvest from this very fine poem of yours. A poem to ponder over. Excellent, my friend.
Fond regards,
Tony.

A thought provoking read. Still thinking about it.
I read it about pure self sacrifice, without thought of appreciation. Like a parent perhaps, or a god, or a lover who knows pity.
Interesting write. Like. Something I might write on a good day, maybe once a year...

Thank you for this poem. The poem is reflective of nature and nurture.
When one befriends a feral cat, one realizes the nurture in nature can be supplemented.

Nature is most sacrificial, universal pattern of self-giving, not just forests and rivers but also people and anyone or anything suffers so others may live.

Paul Bell said:
Never thought of nature as a sacrificial lamb, but maybe I should.
She sure gets a raw deal out there, abused and torn apart by the usual suspects.
One thing with the abused though, they go one or two ways.
They die, or they finally get revenge.

Soren…damn. This felt like watching someone surrounded by everything people think should make a person happy while he’s quietly coming apart. That stayed with me. Powerful. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Hello, Soren,
Fine dinning, fine wines, big cigars and blood on the keys and the mystery lingers on. I love the choppy narrative and the abundance of rhyme, as if fired from the hip. Has a ninteen thirties/ fortyies feel about it. To tell you the truth, it\'s great and so entertaining. Well don indeed, my friend.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Richard Cory was put to Music and sang by Wings in the 70s.
I was thinking of Hemingway when reading this.
A fine Poem and a fave for sure.

A rhythmic suicide poem, now that\'s something new and fresh. I enjoyed the read. Sail to the keys and blow your brains out, how desperate he must have been. - Phil A.

There’s a damn brutal contrast here, because the lobster, cigar, Blue Label, sable, yacht, and king-size bed create this obscene picture of privilege while the man inside it is quietly being eaten alive by something nobody can see. The final “piece of lead in his head” hits hard precisely because all that luxury turns out to be useless against the disease and dread, leaving the poem with the cold realization that you can sail through paradise and still be unable to escape yourself.

Yes, the sun maybe shining, the cigar cut, Jonnie Walker waiting, pretty wife in the background.
Sadly, all of that pales into insignificance if the body is waning.
How many would end it that way though.

There’s something deeply existential beneath all the luxury and beautiful scenery. You can sail as far as the horizon allows, but there is no geographical escape from the self. Powerful piece my friend.

The Godfather 🤣 nicely played dear sorrenbarret, if every dad acted as a mobster when it came to their daughter\'s futures maybe the world would be nicer, this Don sounds pretty cool to me. Il padrino! 🌹

Amazing imagery and language, it\'s amazing how many morals this poem has looking closely, everything pretty on the outside whilst the inside is black. Wonderful poetry dear sorrenbarret kudos on the finale. 🌹
