It is strange, but I\'ve never heard of a dog stabbing you in the back.
Sadly, can\'t be said for the other lot. Probably why dogs rock.

Great write - I would miss my little Stanley so much - the best companion I could ask for so loving and always by my side - currently asleep on the arm of a chair after his walk - or should I say our walk.

All the signs of old age which I display very well, wear and tear physically and mentally and the increasing lack of ability for the body like nature, to repair it\'s self, have fun

This poem reminded me of quantum physics where our usual expectations of definitives get defeated. Beautifully rendered- non deterministic yet not ambiguous.

Funnily enough, for me the difining lines were \"Walking toward it the sound diminished, fading off into only creaking trees\". They told me tbat for a few things a look or hear from afar is more appropriate than a look under the microscope. Belief is such a thing.
Apologies for misinterpretation.

Stunning poem. The last line \" dreams grew of rhyme\'s rust\" was phenomenal.

Paul Bell said:

Life is a good-worn path and maybe dreams are more distant now, but we plough through, cos life is still a great journey.
The pencil is still sharp, and the words still go together.

A good depiction of life, of destiny, of our experiences. Like roots, we struggle to make a future, to safeguard ourselves.

Soren, this is beautifully layered. The cracks, roots, and worn paths unfold as metaphors for time, wear, and memory itself. Always grateful for your craft, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

This is great. Please forgive me for my short comments, as I am new to poetry and am not sure what I am looking for in order to critique. I can appreciate good writing, though and that\'s what I would consider this.

Your poem explores the tension between nature and human constructs, reflecting on the passage of time, the resilience of life, and the fragility of human character. It suggests that despite efforts to build a strong and enduring foundation (symbolized by bricks and caring deeds), nature finds a way to infiltrate and challenge those constructs.

Soren, this is powerful. You frame doubt and longing as a hymn in the breeze...something glimpsed, sought, and elusive. Beautifully done, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Friendship said:

Your poem explores the tension between skepticism and belief, particularly in the context of nature and the ethereal. It reflects on the beauty of the natural world and the elusive quality of its music, suggesting that even if one does not believe in supernatural entities, there are experiences in nature that evoke a sense of wonder and mystery.

Good stuff here, Soren! This poem turns the act of pruning into a gentle metaphor for caring for the mind. It reminds me that letting go of what’s withered isn’t loss; it’s making space for new blooms. A quiet, hopeful reminder that growth often begins in what we clear away. πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ™πŸ»

Well written, your poem conveys the theme of personal growth and renewal through the metaphor of gardening. It emphasizes the importance of pruning away negative thoughts and experiences to foster new growth and creativity in life.
