Car of rust
soheil khodaparasti said:
The speaker’s emotional attachment to the personified car, combined with the revelation that it was only ever on lease—an idea that suggests we do not truly own our bodies or our lives—creates a thoughtful meditation on aging, attachment, and mortality. The extended metaphor is skillfully sustained.

I find I do detest bugs, but I similarly feel guilty after killing them... I like the way you explain this!

Soren, I’ve felt that kind of inner drone…the noise that won’t quiet no matter how hard you thrash. The repetition here mirrors that perfectly. It feels like wrestling conscience itself…messy, loud, unavoidable. You captured that unrest with force. Great job on this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nicely written. Your poem \"Pests\" revolves around the metaphor of flies as a representation of guilt, annoyance, and degradation that comes from personal sins and societal lies. The poem reflects on how these “pests” invade one’s life, paralleling the way guilt and the consequences of our actions can linger and overwhelm us.

The poem’s use of flies as a symbol of guilt and moral decay conveys the inescapable nature of sin and the speaker’s struggle toward atonement—all in just eight lines. Really well done.

Soren, this is beautifully done. The litany of privilege and access never brags, never explains…it just accumulates until the silence becomes the loudest truth. “Put his finger to his lips, then moved it as a zipper zips, uncle Dave” is the only ending this poem could have. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Very interesting story told through poetry. Uncle Dave seems like a wonderful person to be around, I’m sure he told many stories. I also liked how at the end his secret seems to be whimsical of sorts, instead of seeming very dark. Great job Soren.

Some wouldn\'t want to grace a cushion of Hitler\'s, but want to spit on it, or even set fire it to it!
Woof! That\'s strong words, says Fido.

Uncle Dave, the man of mystery, no medals on show, always hidden.
Wars are won by uncle Dave\'s, hiding in the shadows directing fire, misinformation confusing the enemy.
Uncle Dave\'s never speak, they take it to the grave.
