Criticism is complicated. I mean an educated critique is one thing but just giving a personal opinion is a waste especially if it is negative. A touch of anger and despair in this powerful work.

Good write SB. There\'s a bit in older Bible versions in the Old Testament of \'Destroying enemies; even every one that pisseth against a wall\' - i.e. males! It sounds a gross way of putting it, but probably derogatory, as in, e.g. \'the whole lot of you enemies will be destroyed; you\'ve had your final chance\'.

There’s so much craft in every verse. I absolutely loved how artfully you described ignorance.

History of an old wound

The poem of your sense of life written in similes and imagery. However, for the sake of the reader\'s understanding, I think it is necessary to expand the topic of the poem a little more. If rhymed, the poem will come to life.

One might find some contradictions in this poem, but I find it quite interesting, deep and sincere... as an evidence to everlasting permanent transformation and search of reality and truth

My friend, reading this stirred that strange feeling when memory turns sweet and dangerous at the same time… the way recollection can nourish something darker beneath the surface. Your imagery captures that tension beautifully. It feels both reflective and quietly unsettling. Well done, Soren!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The poem creates a visceral tension between the texture of \"murky mud\" and the \"glowing sheen\" of the truth, suggesting that while time corrodes our reality, the warmth of a \"phantom fire\" offers a deceptive temperature of comfort. This sets the stage for a sharp duality: while a \"seed\" represents a natural, life-giving potential, the \"delicious\" sensory temptation transforms that growth into avarice, turning a fond recollection into a \"forbidden\" and corrosive greed.🕊️🙏🏻

Thank you SB. I read a bit that Adam and Eve chose the forbidden fruit, with seed in it, of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, rather than choosing God, and choosing not to obey Him. They did the one thing they were told not to do.
But they didn\'t eat the seeds surely. Not if it was an apple tree. Don\'t apple seeds contain cyanide?
I won\'t go as far as giving KP apple pie with the seeds included! heehee.

Even in the \'Easy Life\' there can be hardship.
Can\'t really escape it. But Hardship in comfort would help a lot. Good one.

Soren, I like how this acknowledges that people can endure and adapt to almost anything… yet emotional wounds sometimes cut deeper than physical ones. That contrast feels very true to my experience and to life itself. Powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The poem speaks of possibilities one can have in spite of handicaps. Thus, the broken wing does not prevent singing. The blind still has his ears to hear and can hear comments made on him by others. A clawless cat can hold down a rat and finish it of with its teeth. The rat made the mistake of thinking the cat was totally powerless. The one-armed man can not only dance but also wield a handgun --- with the other arm... Both starting with and parting with a broken heart is a handicap that has consequences.

To me this is about ability and possibilty and the inability of trying with a broken heart. Many of us don\'t try because we have been put down so often,Very well constructed compadre.Enjoyable read

I am ABLE to say this is a good write SB.
There is a Lenten them and verse that says God does not despise a broken and a contrite heart, though I think this means in a more \'spiritual\' sense of being sorry for our sins - a theme often covered in Lent. Not that God wants us to remain sorrowful, broken-hearted, helpless, etc.
Meanwhile - Oh I\'m not contrite with KP - I still dish up the sewage with not regret or remorse. And I don\'t repent, I never turn from it or change it, though she says \'Oh no, sewage again, you wicked sinner!\' heehee.

Soren, there’s a compelling tension here between comfort and surrender…bread and a soft bed on one side, but a birthright quietly traded away on the other. The metaphor of becoming a passenger while society takes the wheel gives the whole piece a reflective, cautionary tone. Strong closing image and a strong poem, my friend. A fave, for sure.. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
