This feels earned—like someone who’s swallowed the whole mess and didn’t spit it back out.
Myth and marrow tangled together here; illumination always costs blood, and you don’t flinch from the price.

Rules. They are pushed sometimes. This read had a good point of the soverignty of rule makers and the consequences of chains. Remarkable.

Great little rhymer Soren. While I do get the Macbeth reference (done him at school) I would think any rose cultivator would be pricked by this one. Me? I\'ll stick with geraniums....

Soren, this is satire rooted in rot. Shakespearean ghosts, martial language, and the blunt pragmatism of fertilizer all collide to show how decay, neglect, and remedy coexist. It’s clever, irreverent, and pointed…as well played as Lady Macbeth herself! Fabulous write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The biggest threat to my garden is unfortunately me, I\'m like the mad scythe guy.
Plans are forming in my head for this year, and already I can see the garden in the distance legging it.

Why did it make me feel royalty and roses are as useful as each other? Of course I am wrong 😞. Loved it.

Too full for dessert
Vipassana said:

Felicity:

1 intense happiness: domestic felicity.

2 the ability to find appropriate expression for one\'s thoughts: speech that pleased by its accuracy, felicity, and fluency.
• a particularly effective feature of a work of literature or art: the King James version, thanks to its felicities of language, ruled supreme.

Writing poems demonstrates that you are not \"too full\" for more felicity. Keep feeling keep going.

rover: a person who spends their time wandering.
rover: (in various sports) a player not restricted to a particular position on the field.

Personally I find both versions of roving quite useful, often a time of discovering something important. Keep roaming, sir.

Soren, this is smart wordplay with teeth. Ice melting, value shrinking, presence becoming unwelcome…the metaphor slides seamlessly into current realities without losing its footing. It’s understated, pointed, and effective. Well done!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

A very powerful poem with a hidden meaning. Ice unfortunately can’t tolerate spice and as we all know, milk is what really cures it. Great poem Soren.

The imagery here is sly and observational—mundane details stretched into small philosophical questions.
That ice becomes almost existential, melting under scrutiny, makes the ordinary feel surprisingly sharp and witty.

Clever composition. The hot spicy food needs ice, which should be served along the dish. Mexican food is known to be hot and spicy.

Worth reading many times as it hits the reader with each read it brings the power of the words. Super poetry. 🌹
