Balance of nature
Paul Bell said:
Sometimes as we walk about, we don\'t see what\'s in front of us.
But imagine around the whole world where nature is working, usually trying to fix man\'s disasters, and maybe sometimes showing us who\'s really in charge.
But all in all, the earth is a great place to be for the short time we get.

Soren, this is grounded inspiration done right. No fluff...just the call to move, build, and sweat the dream into being. Honest work in poetic form, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Brilliant wordplay in the title alone. That closing image...“Let the hole drain and soon the pain will no longer be detected”...really stays with me. Such a vivid way to show healing through release. You wrote a living parable here, Soren. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A poem that uses nature to show the cost of holding onto pain. Making out the thorn as resentment is a powerful image. The message lands clearly: forgiveness isn’t about excusing harm, it’s about letting yourself heal. Strong stuff. A sure Fave 🤩🕊️🙏

Man is a fantastic beast when he puts his mind to it.
I always think big is the way to go, and god does love a trier.
Mind you, I can never find the tools I want for the job, and as for the nails, where do they hide.

I like how this poem flips daydreaming into a call to action and the shift from “painted rooms” of fantasy to hammering nails and sweating for results really lands. The construction imagery makes ambition feel tangible, like you’re literally building your own future brick by brick. 🙏🕊️

I think I understand this as in the notion it is better than forgive and let of the pain, otherwise you allow to fester (easily), which is possible, but forgetting is a different game. Bit of a conundrum this one but enjoyable to read

Your poem presents a certain level of ambiguity; it shares similarities with a riddle, yet its convoluted nature makes it hard to grasp. But I will make an effort to unravel its meaning. Your poem revolves around the concepts of forgiveness and letting go of past grievances. It emphasizes that holding onto pain (the thorn) only leads to further suffering, while forgiveness allows for healing and growth.🤔

Soren, this is modern prophecy...our plastic paradise built on ashes.You frame progress as pyre...modernity burning its own soul. Each rhyme couplet sharp, reflective, elegiac. You turned frustration into poetry with weight and grace. Masterful, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Each day we become more alienated from the incredible natural world that spawned us, and I wonder sometimes if we even realize what we are losing. Great write my friend, so relevant it is frightening.

This speaks volumes to the human physiology.
How many times have you heard the words.
That doesn\'t sound like him or her.
Nobody can get into someone\'s mind, and I think this is why we gasp when something tragic happens.

Would I like to go back to the simpler life - the one experienced in my lifetime? I rail against the technology and complications you portray, but go back?
The internet alone as I use it, is such a liberation...
Enjoyed your listings/reminders Soren, well covered.

Your poem explores the tension between modernity and nostalgia, reflecting on the loss of genuine human connection and the impact of technology and societal pressures on individual freedom and experience. Yet the poet may aim to provoke thought about the direction in which society is heading, urging readers to consider the value of genuine connections and the impact of technology on their lives. The poem serves as a reminder of the past and a call to reflect on the present.

Opposites attract, they say.

This poem captures so well the way we hide our most fragile parts behind masks and laughter. I felt the ache of that “cloak” and the honesty of the final lines. Thank you for putting words to something so many of us quietly carry.
