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
Tristan Robert Lange said:

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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

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.

And it rains

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. 🕊️🙏🏻

And it rains
Paul Bell said:

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.

And it rains
Friendship said:

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.

And it rains
orchidee said:

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.

This is a very powerful poem about perspective. I myself haven’t seen the movie but that is now on my must watch list. You conveyed the anger perfectly while also acknowledging that people can stain your perspective. That’s something I think we all ought to know, we often fall under people’s views and opinions which influences our own attitude about the situation. Amazing poetry Soren.
