Each of those lines could be extended, explored in their own right. You certainly pack \'em in, Soren.
Room there somewhere for thought...
Interest maintained throughout.

No accounting for it, Soren. My thought when I see a wheelchair just tells me \"there but for a thousandth of an inch go I\"
Much reality in a very neat form.

There are all types of good fortune. Some people get discovered and become stars, others work just as hard and never get an audition. If your poem is factual, your good fortune is keeping you alive. I liked your poem. The construction was unique. More importantly, it asks a penetrating question we all wonder about. - Phil A.

I know someone who died from an allergic reaction to a calabroni which is a big black bee we have here in Italy. You my friend are in the ring of a thousand angels whom protect you from harm. 😇

It seems that you were destined for greater things so a bee sting though very painful should be taken in your stride
A bit on the gloomy side but a good read

The age old question, why? We can analyze all the factors but in the end perhaps it\'s just, because. How can we explain what we can\'t possibly understand. You gave me a really good think over this one. Excellent!

A question always pondered, is it just pure luck or do some people have something else protecting them, enjoyed the read

It certainly is a mystery.I knew a man who had a stroke will on a jack hammer.He was in hospital for a while but survives. Others choke to death on a fish bone in minutes.I guess there is an element of luck in this universe.Great poem.Inspirational.Made me think

There are some strange names which mean strange things to others, and example is my Mary, she is Mary Berry, NO NOT THAT ONE! But when she joined n=my croquet club it was mentioned in the Croquet Magazine that Mary Berry had joined the club and we had an email from another club asking her to come down and open a new lawn for them.

There\'s a great truth hidden in this text, and the symbolic content of the words can imprint inevitable destinies. I really liked the way it unfolds. Thank you so much for sharing it. Best regards.

This poem plays with the irony and sting of names, where humour barely disguises a deeper commentary on how identity can be shaped (or skewered) by what we’re called. The rhythm is punchy, the tone offhanded, but there’s a flicker of empathy beneath the laughs, especially in the image of Harry enduring hallway ridicule. It reminds us how names can both anchor us and expose us, sometimes through no fault of our own. In its brevity and wit, it delivers a small, strange truth: we don’t choose our labels, but they often choose how the world sees us.

Yes - inappropriate name inflicted should be an indicator to the recipient that the genes they inherited are not worth perpetuating.......🤣

Enjoyable read, its amazing how much effort some people put into deciding a name, only to then choose one that is guaranteed to make their childs life a misery, nicely done

Your poem masterfully weaves chaos and order, challenging nature and morality with striking imagery. The raw power of your words forces us to confront humanity’s contradictions—creation and destruction, unity and conflict. A thought-provoking piece that lingers long after reading.

This is brilliant, Soren. Truly. The depth packed into each line caught me off guard—in the best way. It’s tight, sharp, and layered with insight. Form and message are completely in sync. You’ve delivered something powerful here, my friend. 🌹🔥👏
