The drought of a poet
Thomas W Case said:
Fantastic work. There’s a raw, biblical lament here, with the failed harvests, poisoned wells, and wandering sheep turning material ruin into a desperate search for what has gone wrong between the speaker and his God. “What now can I offer you that I have nothing / I a simple poet, only words do I have to present” is the keeper for me, because it brings all that ancient anguish down to the vulnerable heart of the poet, standing empty-handed before heaven with the one gift he still possesses: his words.

Don\'t think that way.
Sometimes God is not punishing us , sometimes God testing us only to see if we will stay loyal to Him even he removes all what makes us convenient and happy...Just include this to your prayer.
I Know I\'m not perfect so let your light guide me, let your golden rules becomes my armor , when the storm hit me with the vast winds.I will trust you no matter what ....Amen

HAHAHA! Soren, between your imagination and mine, I suspect we\'re both on some supernatural watchlist! I can practically hear the Devil saying, \"Those two again?!\" Wonderful Halloween madness, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I really like the metaphor of the line “only a poet spins straw into gold.” The way I see it, the straw represents the simple ideas and the gold represents the meaningful parts and when spinning the straw it represents transforming ordinary language into something extraordinary through creativity. Nicely done poem :))

Well written. Your poem explores themes of creativity, the value of ordinary life, and the unique ability of poets to elevate simple experiences into art. You emphasize how common materials and experiences, like a floor mat or a basket, have intrinsic worth and can be reimagined through language.

We sure are a throwaway society, everything is replacable. Amazon agrees counting the profits.
I\'m sure the poet loves the scraps, and tries to put them back together, maybe with flaws, but that\'s okay.

Awaiting
Gelyn said:
This piece paints such a vivid picture in my mind. I can almost see the lonely table set for an expected guest, the food growing cold, and the silence stretching as time slowly slips away. The image of a single fly carrying no message makes the absence feel even more haunting, as though even nature has forgotten the promise of death\'s arrival. The tired host waiting until anticipation gives way to sleep is both eerie and deeply human. A beautiful visualization of patience, mortality, and the strange uncertainty of waiting for the inevitable.

The poem beautifully explores how ordinary materials, such as straw or grass, can serve countless purposes in everyday life. Through vivid images and practical uses, it highlights the contrast between the seemingly worthless and the meaningful. The final lines express the poem’s central message: anyone can put words together, but only a poet can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary through imagination and creativity.
