The comparison of the aging body with natural landscapes is powerful and evocative. There\'s a quiet beauty in how you portray aging , even in decay. Well written!

Soman Ragavan said:
As we get older, we become more contemplative, more philosophical. We ponder on the life gone through. The poem describes the body’s journey through life. In the final years, things start falling apart, for such is the ageing process.
The final line : “a rotting body bed ferried, to its waiting grave.”
Thus the body was rotting while still alive. The grave is waiting to gobble up.
“Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.” – Jean Cocteau (1889-1963)

This is amazing. I love the use of \"adjectives\" , It is so more pleasant to read a poem with adjectives.Rolling ripples and sagging flesh captures old age perfectly.Not really a perfect time of life.It can be hard work.A wonderful poemWell done.I enjoyed reading and had a laugh as well

Getting old (I\'m gonna say, \"getting older\" sure isn\'t as I was told. There is no gold in those golden years. You have penned this so perfectly!

Demise of a poem
NafisaSB said:
i have lots of scribblings which either die a natural death, when left incomplete for lack of inspiration - just thoughts jotted down on pieces i could write on. so i can empathize fully with you - but don\'t give up hope - try again, and if it seems impossible, delete it and move on to your next poem -
as it is - you are one of the most prolific poets on this site
so don\'t lose hope - but keep composing, and sharing as and when the muse strikes

Reminds me that though the individual (tree) died, it hosted how many birds, how many bromeliads, how many insects? Did the micorrhizae underground connect its roots to another tree so that hormonal \"tree talk\" could take place. How much carbon did the tree sequester out of our air? How much oxygen did it give us in return? It lives on through its gifts that made this world continue on. Not bad for a tree that is no more! Love the poem!!

This reminded me of the Dutch Elm Disease that wiped out all the chestnut trees in the U.S. They died from the inside out, became a hollowed-out trunk and nothing else. Can we try to save our natural environment?

Good write SB. I see some trees with rot or leaning over. Must have strong roots so as not to come crashing down.
A joke now (argh): What is brown and green, and if it fell on you out of a tree, would kill you? Nope, not a branch - but a snooker table! heehee.

A powerful metaphor about decay and the need to let go of what clings to us - quietly thought-provoking and beautifully written.

Your words weave nature’s truth with haunting grace—
a stark reminder to shed what decays, leaving no trace.

I see two very important meanings to this poem, I see the soul of a person and a soul of a tree. Wonderful 🌹
