Love the metaphor, pebbles creating ripples, and have used it myself; never in a poem though. Well done, Soren. 🌹👏

Indeed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...is BLACK & WHITE. That\'s just faux security for the insecure. Well done on this poetic musing, my friend. 🌹👏

Your words ripple through time,
each verse a pebble in the mind’s pond—
beauty fleeting, impact eternal.

Always great reading your work! Hope that disturbance calms sooner than later.
A log burned, pages lost
I would say pages (Crossed, Tossed) to not say lost twice.

It\'s the need to \'speak the truth in love\', I would say. If it\'s truth only, it can seem harsh, bigoted, \'like it or lump it\'. Maybe if it\'s love only, it can seem soft, wishy-washy, sentimental.
\'What\'s all this sensible thinking from you? I\'m the one who thinks sensibly\'. Fido says to me. lol. He knows.

Thought provoking!
Kindness can sometimes be a valid reason for deception, a little white lie can be more compassionate than harsh truth.

A toungu twister in metaphor and language, I cannot support any liar, however if it was a small change of fiction to make someone suffer less I may well indulge. 🌹 Brilliant theme dear sorrenbarret 🌹

I have always thought that the truth can be poisonous. To lie to someone to protect their feelings is noble and expected among friends.A challenging poem that questions God himself.It made me think.

Demise of a poem
Soman Ragavan said:
The title “Demise of a poem” is problematic. The nature of poetry is such that a poem, once composed, has a life of its own. It goes beyond the reach of the poet himself. Indeed, others (eg critics) can find in it things that the original poet himself did not see. For such is the nature of poetry. It is so complex that even the poet might not fully realise what he has produced. Strangely, other people might be able to decipher the issues.
“(Quoting PHILIP LARKIN).
“Some years ago I came to the conclusion that to write a poem was to construct a verbal device that would preserve an experience indefinitely by reproducing it in whoever read the poem. (.....) “ -- \"MODERN POETS IN FOCUS.\" (Volume 2). (Edited by Jeremy Robson). London : Woburn Books Ltd., 1973.
So, in writing a poem, somehow we expect, in our subconscious at least, that others will be able to dig into the meanings.
