Nothing is more valuable
Paul Bell said:
I suppose in the beginning, that ring is the start of hopefully a lifetime of love and hope.
Sadly, time seems to fly by, and loved ones move on leaving behind the tangible objects that once was part of them.
Moving poem this one.

The alliteration in the first verse sounds playful, yet it introduces a serious theme. Later, the wordplay continues with a leonine rhyme. Well done!

Hello, Soren,
One of my many vices. I use a Peterson pipe and tamper. I enjoy White Knight pipe tobacco when I can get it, accompained with a mug of coffee and therein a small measure of rum - where one can easly lose oneself. A gem of a poem - Long and Slow, exactly. Well done indeed, My friend.
Fond regards,
Tony.

Soren, this has a ritual feel to it that I really like. Not smoking for the sake of smoking, but treating the whole act like a way of entering a different headspace. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

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.

Tony Grannell said:
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.
