Leader of a country

Plato’s vision of leadership is highly idealistic. The ideal ruler must be entirely free of selfish ambition, but Plato’s philosopher-king remains more an aspiration than a reality. Excellent write, Soren. Thank you for sharing.

What we like it or want to hear it I would rather people were just honest, then at least you respect someone for being true to their beliefs and self. Lies just breed lies, which breed mistrust and contempt, then resentment and anger, and very quickly you are the road to failure, lovely write, enjoyed the read

Probably the greatest philosopher, I\'d find it hard to believe any human can remain platonic in our world today, as there seems to be two side on the left we are good on the right we are bad. A magnificent piece of poetry and a fabulous discussion my friend. 🌹

It beautifully weaves the cycles of nature and creativity, showing how renewal and transformation breathe life into both trees and words. Its imagery is vivid, its rhythm graceful, and its message profound—a poetic masterpiece that celebrates the essence of creation.

Yes. Many who post don\'t end up reading, which is sad to me. Reading is as beneficial as writing, imho. The two feed each other. Brilliant use of a Roman custom as a metaphor. Perfectly done. Faved. 🌹👏

Ahh, bit of French there - Damnatio...... A couple of good words for KP each new day, I reckon! lol.
A bit like I\'m reading of the Reformation in the mid 1500\'s in the UK, and Damnatio memoriae - erasing Roman Catholic images, shrines, rites, and other paraphernalia, or at least that was the aim. They hid objects, etc, sneakily, in some cases. Then Queen Mary I brought the RC stuff back, then Queen Elizabeth I and Protestantism. (I can\'t see on your profile if you\'re in the UK or not.) History lesson over! lol.

Friendship said:
The poem explores the importance of poetry and the act of sharing one\'s thoughts and feelings through written words. It emphasizes that both the act of writing and the engagement of readers are crucial for a poem to truly live and resonate. The notion of \"Damnatio memoriae\" suggests that forgetting is akin to death, and thus, sharing poetry is a means of preserving memory and sentiment. Your poem aims to inspire both poets and readers to engage with one another, emphasizing that the act of sharing poetry is vital to keeping the art form alive and relevant. It serves as a call to action to not only create but also to read and appreciate the works of others.

Go on - you will end up offending someone, despite wrapping it up in your usual metaphor☺️ Used to irritate me, but think poets come (and go) for different reasons - some want to engage (like moi), others don\'t.
The Roman practice (your comment) is of course a hot topic today.....

Let no verse fade into silence, no thought wither in the dark. Words breathe when carried forward, stitched into the fabric of time. We are not here to let them die, but to lift them where hands can reach, to scatter them like autumn leaves, where new voices take root and rise. You have been such a stalwart proponent of poetry and reading. Lead the way!🙏🏻🕊️

Indeed, one should never write off embers. They are capable of springing back to to life at any moment. They smolder unseen. They can whip up some backlash. They are deceptive. Embers of past fires can be the hidden sparks of future ones. Otherwise put, the \"past\" is never over.

It may sound insulting - some Biblical description of \'man\' (meaning including male and female) - to say \'You pile of dust, you worm, you!\' But it\'s what I call KP every day, as she\'s too big for her boots. lol.

The poem profoundly explores concepts of creation, the divine, and the human condition, utilizing the metaphor of dust to symbolize life\'s majestic origins and the cyclical nature of existence, illuminating religious themes and humanity\'s eternal quest for understanding through nature and its awe-inspiring elements.
