I think we are thinking alike Soren! If only people could be peaceful but alas there’s too much hate and greed in the world. You conveyed your point perfectly. Wonderful write Soren.

Wow! Soren, this carries real bite, my friend. The weatherman mask, the dams, the drought and flood existing at once…it all speaks to a system built on denial and diversion. Uncomfortable, necessary, and fiercely honest. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Speaks to the solitude of the poet. We try to figure out what is happening around us, but life has already moved on...

Brilliant allegorical poem, brimming with dark humour, about a certain Western despot, I guess...highly original and definitely another fave from me!

A compelling poem. Your poem revolves around themes of disillusionment, social injustice, and environmental neglect. The imagery of water, or lack thereof, serves as a metaphor for broader societal issues, highlighting how the powerful and wealthy often remain unaffected by crises that severely impact the marginalized and vulnerable. The poem critiques political leaders and institutions that promise change but fail to deliver, ultimately leaving the public in despair.

Glad that Denmark gave him a big chunk of Greenland, now Trumpland, and who knows, Ice in the ice might keep the ice men away from shooting poor women in their cars. Mind you, the people in Iceland must be shitting themselves, he did sort of get them mixed up.

Second bow, indeed. Powerful write, my friend. That image of the audience gone home while the speaker remains on the stage stays with me. It’s lonely, lucid, and deeply human…the moment after meaning has moved on. Well done, Soren. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Life is but a stage, and you\'re merely a player.
And they said I was wooden, hate that.
Can\'t remember the last time I saw a rainbow.

Well said. My friend. Your poem explores the fleeting nature of life and the inevitable passage of time. It reflects on the idea that life is like a performance, filled with moments of beauty and joy (the \"treasures\" and \"rainbow\") that can quickly dissolve, leaving the individual feeling lost and alone once the \"curtain calls\" have ended. The poet grapples with feelings of nostalgia and a sense of wandering after the festivities of life have concluded. Yet the metaphor of life as a stage, where moments of happiness and fulfillment are fleeting and often overshadowed by a sense of loss or emptiness, once the \'performance\' is over.

Good write SB. My skills rarely extend to long lines rhyming mid-verse, and at the end of the lines. Really \'metre\' means something more technical, stresses on certain syllables in words, etc, so I\'ve omitted that from my poems now. I\'ve got enough to do to keep an eye on the number of syllables, let alone stressing some of them. Well, I only got 3 brain cells to work with. lol.

I recall these marching rivulets from childhood play in the rain and also recognise the other forsaken feel of rain flood as well, sending out crows and doves for a sign. 🕊️🙏🏻

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Soren, this is a powerful meditation on endurance. The rain becomes more than weather…it’s pressure, time, doubt, and silence all at once. The final question doesn’t seek an answer, it names the ache. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Britain today is too much rain at the wrong time.
Too much sun at the wrong time.
Maybe nature is finally getting sick of us and decided to drown us all.

This grips the soul with relentless storm and unflinching grief—each line a drumbeat of sorrow.
Your rain is both hammer and hymn, gritty, honest, and impossible to look away from.

Well written. Your poem revolves around the overwhelming nature of despair and the metaphorical representation of rain as a symbol of sorrow and struggle. The poet focuses on themes of emotional turmoil, the sense of being engulfed by circumstances beyond control, and a longing for hope and divine intervention. The repetition of the phrase \"And it rains\" emphasizes the relentless nature of these feelings, suggesting a continuous cycle of despair.

Good write SB. It made me think of God in the storm, and lines of a hymn: \'His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm\'. Sounds fearful, but \'fear\' meaning \'awe, reverence, respect, etc\', not terror.
