Tristan Robert Lange said:

Elemental! Love it! Soren, this breathes like an ancient incantation β€” fire and soil, dream and hunger intertwined. You captured the sacred metaphor between birth and becoming perfectly. Excellent and a must fave for me, my friend (which is, admittedly, pretty much all of yours. What can I say, I\'m a fan! 🀣) πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈ

The questioning of destiny and do our parents help shaped it, probably whether that be good or bad, but if there no parent\'s, is it just destiny anyway, enjoyed my Sunday read

Your poem explores the interconnectedness of the four classical elementsβ€”fire, earth, air, and waterβ€”and reflects on the duality of human existence, contrasting dreams and poverty, life and death, and the roles of parents in shaping destiny.

\'Skirt of dirt\' is surely metaphorical, but it\'s what I\'m literally gonna do to KP. I\'m not gonna do her washing for a year! lol.

How to love dogs that are so similar to humans ?

I feel there is way more to this than I want to get involved in, but on a lighter note,years ago my Alsatian put me in hospital when we were playing football, I went to head the ball, she went to head it, I lost she bit into my head. Enjoy the rest of your weekend

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Soren, this is a lovely piece. Loyal dog, misunderstood friend, poetic fog...those four-legged, furry companions in our lives who stay true despite everything. Grateful for this one, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬› Makes me think of my ol\' dog, Chloe. Just passed in May. 😒

Friendship said:

Well written, Sorenbarrett. Your poem is about a dog, loyalty, and misunderstanding, but I think it\'s more about the transformative power of human connection, highlighting how misunderstandings can arise from differing perspectives, and how we can sometimes misinterpret things. Apparently, you miss the person you were corresponding with, and you hold no grudges. Still, instead, you\'re extending an olive branch, letting that person know it was all just a big misunderstanding, and you genuinely desire to rekindle your friendship.

We do miss them - pets are pet of the family. And now my poem: To an old trout who I won\'t miss at all! You knows her. lol. I would miss Fido 100 times more. heehee.

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.

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.
