It\'s a thing you don\'t see now, the pipe smoker.
I, too, loved the smell of the pipe, your poem brings it back.

How did I miss this earlier? And, my dear friend, the title alone should have caught my eye and sent me in here searching for the Ol\' Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King himself! This, no doubt, even more of a joy than finding him here! LOL! Well done, Soren. Loved every bit of this! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Hahaha. I must say, well written, my friend. Your poem presents a whimsical encounter with a character who appears to blend elements of holiday tradition with fantastical imagery, suggesting themes of surprise, curiosity, and the interplay between the familiar and the strange.
It seems to revolve around a mysterious, scaly creature (reminiscent of a dragon or a fantastical figure) that enters the poet\'s home, introducing an element of the unexpected. The character\'s traits and actions evoke a sense of holiday cheer, possibly linking to the figure of Santa Claus (hence \"Sandy claws\"). This poem serves to entertain and evoke a sense of wonder, inviting readers to explore the boundaries between the familiar and the fantastical during a time often associated with magic and surprise.

We ha e them here they are small and big, I actually quite adore them. Myself, I don\'t like snakes though, your theatrical life with the wild is highly entertaining, your home must be something very special for all these visits 💜

Monitor lizard or Santa, choices, choices.
I think the monitor lizard would be cheaper to feed.
Do they make good watch dogs, that is the question.

Good write SB. I thought it was a cat at first, unaccustomed as we are to lizards visiting us in the UK! lol. I would check our cellar (if we had one) to see if any lizards got it.

I have felt this many a time. Especially growing up in the middle of nowhere. But now I long for the solitude of nature, and an open sky

These words are very well said. No one could have said it better. I\'ve noticed people try to point the finger not looking at there own selves 1st. No one should be casting the first stone...NO ONE.

Soren…the loneliness in this piece is palpable. That move from nature as haven to nature as a cell, and those deaf clouds drifting away…that’s the whole ache right there. Stunning work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your poem explores the paradox of feeling trapped in a beautiful environment. It reflects on the conflict between external beauty and internal despair, suggesting that even in paradise, one can feel imprisoned by their emotions and circumstances. The picture you painted in the poem is rich with contrasting imagery. Words like \"paradise,\" \"heaven,\" \"banished,\" and \"vanished\" evoke a sense of beauty and loss. The phrase \"poetic birds\" suggests a yearning for freedom and communication, while \"deaf clouds\" implies neglect or indifference. Yet on one hand, the poet feels the complexities of human emotion—how beauty and despair can coexist, and the longing for connection in moments of isolation. It invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of feeling trapped or unheard.

Sometimes beauty and the beautiful are impotent and unavailable emotionally like a garden that although in full bloom does not evoke any intense emotion or doesn’t connect, hence the prison. Truly a sad state where beauty is a communal thing and expressed in companionability🙏🏻🕊️

Loneliness is a disease, and a killer disease at that.
Humans need to talk, and it seems now millions sit in empty houses decaying.
Once upon a time you had neighbours, but not anymore in this world of privacy.

Good write SB. Yes, I left KP marooned on an island for about, oh, 20 years or so. Or I wish I could! lol. \'More sewage, dear?\' are the beautiful words I say to her each day. It\'s my version of saying to her \'I love you\'. heehee.
