How many people would have the courage to survive at such a cost? A story told in wonderful verse, and I suppose a valuable lesson learned.

Whoa! That scene with the ants crawling...ruthless, impossible to relax...was chilling. Truly chilling. It grounded the whole piece in physical terror before the real horror even began. Powerful work. š¹š¤ššÆļøš¦āā¬ You know I LOVED THIS from the title onward! š¤£

Your poem reads like an oral epic rendered in bushāballad rhythm; a survival yarn told by firelight, equal parts grit and gallows humour. You can almost hear the voice leaning in over the table as the āfew beersā loosen the tongue and the story takes on its unstoppable roll. Itās a meditation on endurance stripped of all abstraction: pain, isolation, and the choices made when no help is coming. The physicality is so vivid it almost crowds the air from the page, yet thereās also an underlying respect for the quiet, stubborn will to survive. By the end, the vow to ānever do that againā rings with wry understatement, the kind of closing line that makes the listener exhale, in part disbelief and part admiration.

Neville said:
Made me chuckle so ya did .. Here one just for thee sir ..
Shall I grow a beard for thee
A little Shakespeare one perchance
Or if you would I rather
I will sport a Che Guevara
If tho the thought has got ya thinkin
What about an old Abe Lincoln
Just a small one on my chin
Three hairs no more like Hoe Chi Min
Hans Lansethās beard was something else
He couldnāt fit it in his house
A Da Vince or Van Dyke maybe
More attractive tho just wait and see ..

Bearded sonnet
Friendship said:
Your poem \"Bearded Sonnet\" is a powerful exploration of the dynamic relationship between personal identity, societal expectations, and the passage of time, as embodied by the poet\'s beard. It serves as a testament to the transformative power of life experiences, struggles, and individuality, while fearlessly confronting societal norms that often seek to dictate personal appearance. Which explores the growth of the poet\'s beard over the course of a year, using it as a metaphor for the accumulation of memories, emotions, and life experiences. It celebrates themes of pride in one\'s identity, the tension between personal expression and societal pressure, and the resilience that comes from embracing one\'s unique journey. Overall serves as a commentary on the pressure to conform to societal norms regarding appearance and the importance of embracing oneās individuality and life experiences, as embodied by the beard. It challenges the notion of cutting away parts of oneself to fit in, advocating for pride in oneās history and identity.

God read, sorenbarrett. I grew a full beard once. My hair grows so haphazardly. Grows in some places and not in others: darts here and there, and it has a total mind of its own.

This ripples with alchemy; lightning etching mortal traces, language liquefying into streams that both reveal and distort. Whatās upright bends in the reflection, truth and falsehood trading places, while the delicate drag of a quill ferries the remnants of thought into the current, carrying them toward some unseen confluence.

The poem touches on themes of memory, mortality, and the fluidity of meaning. It suggests that as individuals navigate life, the way they articulate their experiencesāthrough languageācan alter perceptions of right and wrong, as well as reality itself. Your poem aims to provoke thought about the relationship between language, memory, and identity, encouraging readers to reflect on how they communicate their own experiences and perceptions.
